Most people use L brackets, either in metal or plastic. I used 1/4" J channel from Display Products and attached them to top and bottom ends of the marquee boards. Check out my flickr album for more details: https://www.flickr.com/photos/21400288@N05/sets/72157651964841131/

Yeah, I was looking at that option but due to the angles at the top of my cab I can't find any that work. I also tried bending some aluminium to shape but looked a bit rubbish.
So I've resigned myself to using a bit of tape and sticking t-moulding over it with hot glue.
I'm not planning on changing the artwork so once it's in place it should look fine

Recently finished my OND cab. This is my first build and it took about three months to complete working primarily on weekends when time permitted. I learned how to use a router on this project so there were more than a few mistakes made throughout the process!
Thanks to OND for sharing his plans and inspiring me to give this a shot. Another big thanks to edge929 for sharing the details of his build. This proved to be very helpful given that I based my build on his CP mod.

Thanks vaderag! By the way, I saw your post about the marquee and thought I would share what I ended up doing. I had some challenges here too and wasn't sure how I wanted to secure it to the cab. I wanted easy access to the light behind it so I ended up buying floor tile edging (link provided), cut it to length (top and bottom) and secured them to the cabinet using industrial velcro. Plexi fits perfectly between the two pieces and the velcro holds the edging in place really well.

Interesting... I'm struggling to picture it tho... Would you mind providing a close up pic? At the moment after spending nearly £30 on aluminium I'm not going to use I'm leaning towards the tape option!!
