| (1/2) > >> |
| hulkster:
okay, i have a happs coin door (over/under) and its a 2 player one. anyway, im going to cut the hole in the middle of the piece of wood in the front so i can mount the coin door. my question is, whats the best way to go about measuring for the hole? i mean, im not measuring the outside of the coin door, but the inner part, and that itself is curved on the edges. how can i be as accurate as possible on this? anybody have suggestions? |

happ controls website. Find the diagram for your door and it should have a cutting template |

go to http://happcontrols.com then search for coin door... you can find the exact same coin door there... then click on the explode mounting view... I believe the door cutout is 7.30" x 19.80" if you want to be sure.... try one on a cardboard... (or scrap wood...) drill a hole in the middle first... then use jigsaw and cut slowly... hope it helps.... ;) ;D and as always... when done.. plz post pics... we love pics !! haaa haaa.... ;D ;) |

I installed a new Happ Over/Under door. The inner lip measurements on the one I installed are Width=185MM x Height=503MM (roughly 7" x 20" in imperial). I documented how I did it on my website at http://www.garry.ca/construction03.html Look for February 11. Before I cut the real hole, I practiced on a pieces of scrap. Make sure you round the corners or you'll leave gaps. Hope that helps... Cheers! |

You can also use a small paint can to draw the rounded corners on your wood before cutting it. If you need to take a little more off after the hole is cut try using a Dremel with a sanding bit installed. Gary |
