Happ Bezel mouting questions?
miles2912:
I cut the bezel to fit and then kind of held it where I wanted. Tracing the sides gave me a place to mount ledgers. Cut and mounted ledgers (1x2 craft grade). Paint the ledgers black and then screw the bezel into the ledgers.
Looks good.

Yeah, I did all four sides the full length of the screen. Probably a bit overkill, but hey it works. The strips are 1" wide and 10ft in length, and I have about 3ft left over. http://www.velcro.com/consumer/products_um.htm
The bezel around the TV screen has a bevel of about 1/4", so I started it there and wrapped it around the edge. It held good, but after taking the happs bezel on and off a few times the adhesive doesnt hold... probably because the velcro i used is very stiff and not meant for angled surfaces like that. Cosmetically it didn't make any difference, as the happs bezel has its own lip that covered up that part.. and the TV screen isn't obstructed at all.
On the happs bezel I used the fuzzy side of the velcro which is more flexible and can hug the curves.. in the picture you can see the 1/4" or so that sits on the edge and makes contact.
The good thing about mounting the bezel straight to the TV is that you can change its position without having to worry about mounting blocks on your cabinet.
I think that covers everything.

bvicarious great instructions. I will go with your idea. I have about 4 inch strips of velcro. I am going to see how they hold up. That way I can remove it easier.
My TV is not a perfect fit for the bezel. Man your TV sits smooth with that thing. I have mine centered as best as I could get it. Folks could see the bottom part of the TV case just a tad, but it is not noticeable once the games are going.

Smoked plexi hides a world of sin.

Yeah the last thing I will do when I get everything else done is smoked plexi. I am needing to get a 2' X 4' feet thing of birch plywood for my control panel box. I botched some wood see...., but Home Depot here in town were out. I am going to try again next week and call before I go. Then I will try Loews one town over. Anyone here ever by 2 x 4 sheet from loews?
