Note there are many different possible types of 'instrument'; some people seem to be thinking of this in term of small laboratory articles (as indeed one might imagine 'surgical instruments' too), but my first thought was some kind of electrical test instrument (appareil) — hence why my thinking was more along the lines of an 'equipment rack'; given that there is an element of reproducing the "physical placement of the instrument in the rack" on the dashboard, this might be a logical enough reading.

In certain contexts, we are not talking about a mere storage rack, or rack for holding or organizing things, but sometimes an installation rack; very often, in EN, 'rack' in this sort of sense in fact means an international standard 19" rack.
In that SPECIFIC context, the word 'rack' seems to have wide acceptance in FR as well as EN, and you depart from it at your peril. Hence a little extra context wouldn't go amiss, to help identify just what kind of rack is involved here?
