Been there :oops:

No, the aluminium chassis is for a JTM45 only and only those panels will fit. Every thing else fits fine but the panels are way out. You could have a custom cut out made for your headcase to cover the bare bit of chassis at the front but does not seem ideal to me.

The metro plexi panels fit my original steel chassis absolutely perfectly and I presume that Georges new steel chassis matches these.

I made this mistake and had half built my new amp into an alloy chassis (fortunately had not drilled or enlarged any holes pending arrival of the panels).

George is sending me a steel chassis for my project, which means I have a spare alloy chassis for a JTM45 project (although I had planned a 12xxx series next) :wink:
