Paul, Please post the pics, im curious.
Here's a quick run down on today's rack modification:
Started with two standard 45U aluminum 2-post relay racks that look like this:
Here they are both laid out an unboxed:
First I wanted to flip the feet inward to decrease the depth of the rack. To do this, I had to cut a radius in the bottom of all four rails so the feet would fit. Used a die grinder to make quick work of this:
A little clean-up with the file and it's a good fit. You can see here how the rack rail had to be trimmed to allow clearance with the foot flipped around to match the radius on the inside of the foot:
Now it's on to cutting the rails which is what everyone has been swapping ideas about. I cut them individually using my jig saw and a speed square. Easy enough to get them within 1/16". All four cut in less than 5 minutes. I think it takes longer to measure and tape them off than it does to actually cut them.
