ForbiddenWytch Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 Hi everyone Just a quick one for you lot as I'm finding nothing. Does anyone know where to get the rack ears for a Trace Elliot Gp12 SMX or does anyone on here have any they're willing to part with? I have a GP12 SMX but it didn't come with the wooden sleeve and I'd like to rack mount it for protection. Any help is really appreciated. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreek Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 When I looked previously I couldn't find anybody that stocked them. You could try here, but don't hold your breath. https://british-audio-service-music.myshopify.com/pages/parts-store Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fired them an email and got no reply either. Just double checked and there's none on there unfortunately Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mottlefeeder Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 I'm not familiar with that amp, but have you considered a 2U rack tray as an alternative. If the amp is open-topped you couldd use the tray upside down. https://www.studiospares.com/ProductDetail.aspx?p=401350 David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have done that before with a previous Trace Elliot I had though that was open topped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassBunny Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 You could always get a couple of Aluminium Angle Brackets of eBay, (other suppliers are available), and trim them to fit. Something like this. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Size-63-75mm-HD-Aluminium-Angles-Corner-Braces-Mending-Brackets-Greenhouse/271170679373?var=570145918288&hash=item3f2308324d:m:mO810e5_SFMIrrX-xRwsPwA I did this a while back to fit a MarkBass head into a non-standard amp sleeve and it worked a treat. The Aluminium is easy to work with and I sprayed them black when I'd finished "fettling". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmorris Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 (edited) Previously I've added (steel) rack ears to equipment - not specifically designed for the particular unit but with the apertures for the rack screws in place and maybe a few of predrilled holes in the sides for attaching the unit - but you might have to improvise there depending on the material / construction of the amp.
