Where to buy a Defender monitor glass F channel retainer
« on: January 12, 2021, 03:07:08 pm »
I've been looking for the retainer for the monitor glass on a Defender cabinet for a while.  It's a plastic F channel piece.  Anyone have leads on where to buy it?

Thats a tricky piece friend, I usually just clean them good with alcohol and a soft toothbrush and dust it with a bombercan vinyl dye (multiple light coats)...However if there is damage on that one, they do make an aluminium version, problem there is on the front you can see the ripple of the lower F leg...not a deal breaker however, since it is extruded aluminium it is an upgrade out of the box, but to be "Wow" it needs scuffed with a grey (very fine) scotchbrite and etch primed, with black etch, or epoxy primer) painted, and after dry polish sanded and topcoated (semigloss bomber is compatible)...If you find some however, Pm Jenn please, so she can get some too.😘
