I've set my backup K4 and KPA1500 (and more) in a rack also, no cover
plate (sitting on 4 point shelving because parts are heavy). Custom
plates can be ordered (not cheaply) with powder coating and brackets to
the gear.
MAKE TRIPLE DARN SURE that you leave PLENTY of air space above and
below!!! Things get toasty if you contest or DX at all.

I mount equipment without the rack mounts on shelves with mounting brackets.
Just select the height you need. I got mine on eBay, but there are lots of
sellers, including Amazon.
Once installed, slide the equipment into the shelf.

Hi All,
I recently acquired a KPA500 amp and the KAT500 tuner and I'm wanting to
rack mount them. Unfortunately, I can't find any brackets or any way to
mount them in the cabinet. Anyone have any ideas or know where I can find
some brackets for mounting? One place in CA used to sell a mounting kit but
don't any longer. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks and 73,
Gary, N5GD
