Peli Storm iM2300 Base Bezel Kit for Panel mounting

When your project calls for turning a rugged Peli™ Storm iM2300 case into a sealed, field-ready instrument enclosure, the iM2300 Base Bezel Kit (Metric, iM2300-MBEZ-B) is the part that makes it possible. This aluminium frame system mounts a custom electronic interface panel directly into the base of the case, giving integrators a clean, professional way to expose connectors, switches, displays and controls while the rugged shell keeps doing what it does best: protecting everything inside.

Built for serious equipment integration

A bare transport case is great for carrying gear from A to B. A case with a fitted bezel panel is something else entirely – a self-contained workstation, a portable test bench, a deployable communications or measurement system. The base bezel kit transforms the lower half of the iM2300 into a mounting surface engineered to take the weight, vibration and abuse of real-world use, so the electronics you install behave as if they were bolted into a permanent rack, even after a long drive over rough ground or a flight as checked baggage.

Because the frame is machined from aluminium, it stays dimensionally stable across temperature swings and resists the flex that would otherwise stress solder joints and connectors. The result is an interface panel that lines up perfectly every time you open the case and stays put through years of service.

Watertight where it matters

Sealing is the whole point of a Peli Storm case, and this kit is designed to preserve that protection rather than compromise it. A polymer O-ring works together with a silicone perimeter gasket to keep the bezel boundary watertight, so the interior of the base stays dry even when the lid is open and the panel is exposed to rain, spray or dust on a working site. Sealing washers are included for the fasteners, closing off the small leak paths that a panel installation could otherwise introduce.

For teams operating in the field – on a tarmac, at a remote relay site, in a workshop with a leaking roof – that retained ingress protection is the difference between a system you can trust and one you have to babysit.

Metric M4 mounting for clean installs

This is the metric version of the kit, supplied with M4 tapped holes so you can attach user-supplied devices, sub-panels and brackets directly to the frame without hunting for adapters. Tapped holes mean you fasten components straight into the aluminium – no loose nuts to chase, no awkward access behind the panel. It is a small detail that saves real time when you are building several cases to the same specification or maintaining a fleet of deployed units.

What you get in the kit

The iM2300-MBEZ-B arrives as a complete, ready-to-assemble panel-mount solution. Inside the box you will find:

• Molded corner pieces – precise, repeatable corners that locate the frame and carry the seal around the perimeter.
• Front and back rails plus side rails – the four sides of the aluminium frame.
• Rivets – for solid, permanent assembly of the frame structure.
• Sealing washers – to maintain the watertight seal at every fastener.

Everything is engineered to an exact internal bezel size of 17″ × 11.7″ (43.2 × 29.7 cm), so the panel you cut and populate will drop straight into the iM2300 base with no guesswork.

Where it earns its keep

This base bezel kit is a favourite of systems integrators, broadcast and AV technicians, defence and security outfits, survey and inspection teams, and laboratories that need to take instrumentation outside the lab. Typical builds include portable power distribution, battery and charging stations, RF and communications gear, data acquisition and monitoring systems, audio and video routing, and ruggedised computing. Pair the base bezel with a matching lid bezel and you have a fully enclosed, double-sided interface – controls and connectors front and back – all inside a case rated for the toughest transport conditions.

If your equipment has to travel, survive and work the moment it lands, this is the foundation that turns a Peli Storm iM2300 into a purpose-built, weatherproof instrument case you can rely on for the long haul.
