Wanted - Rack Mount Ears for Nuvo

[George M]

I am looking for a pair of ears to mount my Nuvo Cocerto in my new rack. If anyone has a pair laying around please let me know.

I'm looking for these ears too. The official Nuvo ears are too expensive. Let me know if you go down this path or just use generic rack ears.

hmh. :-( I just tried to use standard rack ears for the Nuvo Grand Concerto and they wont work. The Concerto is slightly smaller than normal rack devices.

Can you make your own? It seems like it would be pretty easy. Get some thin steel sheets, cut them to size and bend them 90 degrees. I would think you should be able to bend them by hand even (ie using a vise and mallet vs. a bending machine). Drill holes that match the mounting screw holes on the side to mount to the NUVO and on the front for the rack screws.

I think I've seen metal sheets like this even at Lowe's and Home Depot. THe generally have a small section of metal including different threaded rods, non-threaded rods, and small sheets of steel of different sizes and guages.

It might not be the prettiest thing, but I'm sure it would work.



Or go IVB style and use wood blocks as your mounting bracket. ;-)

Actually I did make a pair (actually altered a pair for another item). However I cannot find the screws for it. They do not have them at HD or Lowes - thread is finer than what they have. I haven't been motivatied enough to search on the web for them.

Take a look at http://www.fastenal.com. Home Depot or Lowes can most likely give you the right specs for the screws you're looking for.
