yes they will fit, but you must have your chassis built or retrofitted to the "transit" chassis format. At one time i had a ZeroHalliburton case with six panels mounted inside. It was slick, but after some useage i found it to be unworkable for my needs. Fully loaded, it's not lightweight by any means and it's a bitch to set up on a stand except a very expensive art easel. I'm sure with a little thought i could have found a more logical way to deal with it but the fact of the matter was that once you got it set up, the constant pulling and pushing of patch cords just make the whole thing a little unstable unless it was clamped down or strapped to something. It was a great idea. I used to have pictures but none survive today.
