MOTM

Yes, I pulled a 940 out of the rack to see and you are correct.  What is 
needed is a set of brackets, one for each end  and one for the space 
between the modules.  These would have to stiff enough to limit the flex of 
the joined panels.  Perhaps a raised section that would wedge against the 
edge of the panels to limit flex.  A possible Stooge metalworks product????
