Please read what I wrote:

"brackets that we could _BOLT_ onto the front of the racks"

No where, in any way shape or form, did I say or imply, that we were 
welding above, below, next to, or anywhere near our routers. I said we 
welded up cable management brackets that we then bolted on to our racks.
