| to bolt or not to bolt lexan down onto control panel? |

| Frosty:
I agree... If you have a lot of buttons situated more towards the edges of your control panel, you should be fine without bolts. But, adding is a good idea, I think. I needed to bolt the lexan down, so I used 1 1/4 inch carriage bolts, and you can barely notice them. |

I spray painted black and halogen-lamp baked woodscrews to match my CP and countersunk the holes in the acrylic. Clean, flush and I like knowing the edge of the acrylic will never lift. Link to pic: http://www.ironvulva.com/g/leon/25_G?full=1 |

I gotta give it to ya MikeDuece... That Leon control panel is fuggin sick! Probably my all time favorite control panel, even though it isn't attached to a cab. I'm a huge fan of the movie too, so I guess I am partial. You should definitely think about making a full size cab themed like that. :cheers: |

I did the same as Mrkdeuce did, but I would lean towards Mark's idea of just having the buttons etc. hold down the Lexan. I trimmed the edging with a T'Moulding that wrapped around the edges. John |
