Hey all, I'm still in the process of getting my cocktail cab together and I've come upon another stumbling block. I'm about to attach my metal control panels and I'm... confused. I'm not sure how they're going to attach to the cab itself. There are three screw holes on the bottom of the CP (where the CP wraps under the wood) but the other place on the CP with screw holes is at the back, and mine doesn't have anything to screw into. I searched the forums for some info and came up with a pic of the insides of vader88's cocktail and it looks like there are some pieces of wood that I don't have in my kit. Here's a pic of the inside of vader's cab: And here's a pic of mine: Any advice on how to secure my control panels? Do other people's kits come with wooden blocks that slide in there or??? Thanks |

You are missing two pieces of wood. When you got the kit, they almost look like throw away pieces, but they are used to mount your panels. They will have a slight angle to them.......like 4" to 3". Hopefully you didn't throw them away. If you did, I'll see if I can get some measurements for you tomorrow. Tim |

Thanks Tim, I don't think I got them. I did have some other "throw away" pieces that I've hung onto, but nothing that small. They're all larger pieces of wood used for the shipment. Because I save everything, I still have the packaging from the shipment, and I'll go through it again, but I went through it a couple times when I first got the kit and I'm pretty sure I got everything. Here's a pic of the included 'instruction sheet' as well and there's no indication of additional wooden pieces (although the instructions aren't exactly detailed and don't indicate where any of the metal hardware goes either, so it really doesn't mean anything) If you could get me some measurements, I'd really appreciate it.

I'll open up the cabinet tomorrow and get them for you, All you really need to do is measure the inside where the piece goes down the slots ( think milky plexi part ) and cut the wood about 1/8 short of that. The piece your missing is really just a bracing piece, not much too it at all. Tim |

FYI...your instructions look alot better than what I received. Guess you got revision 2, lol Tim |
