That last one is mine. The only reason its modded is because when I got the cab, it didnt have the monitor brackets in it, so I had to make them. ;D
amadama:
Hi Rick,
Are those L brackets strong enough to hold the weight of the monitor? What other adhesion method are you using?
Thanks,
Alex

None of those pics are of my cabs. Thanks to those who did take them and post them!
What I'd do is cut some pieces of 3/4" plywood, say 4" x 24" and glue them flat to the side of the cab to provide ledges for the boards that the L-brackets are holding up. IOW, these boards would replace the L-brackets. To help explain, this would create a ledge on each side of the cab that is 3/4" x 24" for supporting the monitor. If the metal cross bars are long enough to sit on and fasten securely to the ply ledge, then no other boards would be required.
Lots of glue area... and glue holds wood better than screws. However, the L-brackets may be sufficient... (nostalgia hasn't complained of a broken monitor, so that must mean something - beauty, eh)

Yeh, it may look a little nasty, but you wont see it and the bracket hold very strong. Just make sure you get the right size screws so you dont pop out the other side. ::)
