Yes, I kept moving instruments around in the rack and between the rack and the bench. When I noticed some distortion in the rack mounting rails (where I had a heavy HP power supply and a couple of other heavy instruments), I bought a bunch of the shelves and have been very pleased with them.

Those look nice, Dave! For most of my units I ended up mounting aluminum angle in the racks and aluminum bar stock on the sides of the units, with Teflon tape so everything slides easily. Since the Teflon effectively isolates the chassis¡¯s from the rack I¡¯m in the process of adding individual ground straps for each unit rather than rely on the power cord grounds.

Jeremy,
Yes, those ears will fit a 3456A. They are definitely for use without handles. The ones for use with handles remaining attached have a notch at top and bottom to clear the handles. You will have to remove the handles to use the ones on offer. Note that the screws to mount the ears to the unit don¡¯t appear to be included. The flathead screws that mount the handles are not long enough to use to mount the ears.
You¡¯ll also need either a shelf for the unit to sit on or the side mounted slides. The rack mount ears and front frame of the DVM are not designed to support the weight of the unit.?

Is eBay item number:173844545405 the correct rack mounting bracket for my HP-3456A DVM? All these "with handles" and "without handles" descriptions are confusing (if the sellers are even correct).
