Screws too short for rack ears

This mixer is not rack mountable. Yes, Mackie sells a rack ear kit. However, the instructions say to simply remove the screws and put them back in. Well, guess what? Over the rack ears, the screws are too short to even reach the threads. I went to Fasteners, Inc., and they told me they have no idea what the threads are...they are apparently proprietary. So I called Mackie parts, and they don't sell the screws. Oh, and THEY don't know what the threads are either! It's not in their parts list! AT MACKIE!! So they sell a mixer with a rack ear kit that won't work, they can't fix it, they don't support it...and they can't even tell you how to fix it yourself.

About Mackie 14-Channel Compact Recording/SR Mixer

The Mackie VLZ3 series are the latest in the popular VLZ line of small format mixing consoles. The VLZ3 is an improvement on the favored design with enhanced XDR2 microphone preamplifiers, an ultra quiet mix bus with improved headroom and a new look. The 1402-VLZ3 features fourteen balanced line inputs, six high quality XDR2 mic preamps, six insert points (mono channels 1-6) and ALT 3-4 outputs, which gives users an alternative from routing signal to the stereo "Main Out".

Using the "ALT 3-4" and "Main" outputs simultaneously, provide four bus style routing to multitrack recorders monitors etc. Perhaps the most impressive feature is in the mic preamps. Premium studio-grade, Extended Dynamic Range (XDR2) mic preamps provide an incredible 130dB dynamic range and 0 to 60dB gain range providing pristine audio and low noise floor. XDR2 mic preamps are optimized for 24-bit, 192kHz sample rate recording. The 1402-VLZ3 is an excellent addition to any home project studio or video editing facility.
