That's kind of why I used the words "may" and "believe" in the wording of my post and not anything more definite.
I know we moved ours inwards while performing some testing with it, but I'm not sure if we did that for extra support to have channel against channel contact, or because we tend to keep things way under size (more than 1" less than maximum dimensions), or for another reason (ie: It was too wide).
I'll have to check that with the actual chassis when I get back to our meetings on Tuesday night.
