Monitor chassis can be switched but they have to be closely matched to do so.  In most cases the voltages will be different on a chassis from a different size monitor so it will not work.   You can buy general replacement chassis from this link:

These chassis have been discussed in another thread and I remember that it worked out OK for someone.  You have to measure some resistances and give screen size for them to match the chassis for you.

I'll check that out.   I recall reading about that site before, but it slipped my mind.  :P
