Hi Dave Many thanks for the MTI260 data, that's very useful and much appreciated. As regards the the Z38xx modules, my Z3801As actually measure 10 9/16 between the front panel edges but obviously still too much to fit two like that into a standard 19 inch rack. I've considered two options on this, one is to keep the existing front panel and just cut it down closer to the case itself and the other, prompted by having one arrive several years ago with a bent front anyway, is just to remove the existing front panels entirely and make up another panel to accommodate two units side by side. The actual cases themselves are 8 inches wide so two should sit side by side quite nicely in a 19inch rack.

I have a couple questions regarding the Z38xx type units. I have a Z3801A, and a couple other modules that don't need a full 19" rack space. The Z38xx units are 11" wide (10-9/16" mounting centers) , and obviously are not suitable for a standard 19" rack cabinet. Looking in the Z3801A manual, I see that the rack trays that these units are mounted in are 28.5" wide, with a dual mounting shelf so that two GPS units can be mounted side-by-side. Were the racks for these units custom built by Motorola and/or Symmetricom? Where in the civilized world might these cabinets and mounting shelves be found and purchased (preferably surplus)? I've searched Google until my eyes are crossed, but nothing shows up. Maybe I'm not using the right search terms? Don't know. I guess I could destroy an old rack cabinet and fabricate something that would fit the equipment, but I'd prefer to buy one (assuming that it doesn't approximate the cost of a new SUV).
