There are some that mount from the rear of the retma rail in the

Microdata used a custom sheet metal house, Full Metal fab to do all of
their units and though you would think there would be interferences,
they designed the trays where they were used to attach and not interfere
with the equipment bay retma attachments.
If you have modern trays and can do it, mount them upside down. This
assumes they don't have any downward protruding lips which would then be
upward interfering with the equipment.
It's usual for deep and/or heavy items to be
mounted on rails, not by
the front panel.
None of these racks have rail mounts. All of them have casings
that
have small machine screws that attach the casing to the sides.
If not, I'd suggest you use a shelf
that's supported at front and rear,
OK, but the shelves I've seen attach to
the racks at the same place
where the faceplates would attach to the rack. So how do you
accommodate both?
