You could also use straps screwed into the inside of the cabinet.  I've got an original cocktail with an arcadedepot panel.

Before the "wood block" confirmation, that's exactly what I was going to do.  It just didn't seem like a completely 'tight' solution and I wasn't sure that it would hold as I'd hope.    Then, after finding vader88s pic (the one I linked in the first post) I started to conclude that I was missing a piece or two of wood.

Do you feel the straps work well enough for you, juggle50?  Also, it looks like your plexi is overlapping with the straps.  Do those bolts go through the plexi?



To those people with the wooden blocks.  Are they small blocks like my pic#1 or longer like pic#2?
Thanks

Definitely #2.  However, the blocks that came with my kit aren't an exact match to the side profile of the CP.  It's strange.

ditto on two.  mine weren't cut to size either....they were just kinda close.

The straps work really well for me.  Yes I overlapped them with the plexiglass.  Obviously with all plexi you want to predrill slowly, you can see how I accidently broke the cornor.

The CP is streched pretty tight to make it work but I don't have any room in my panel for wood blocks.
