Dynamo Cabinet and Larger CP upgrade
Punisher:
Now for the mounts for the CP support. I ended up buying 50 of the threaded inserts that are 1/4-20 threads off eBay for $10 with shipping. I had some 2" X 2" X 1/8" angle iron that I drilled 3 holes in the top piece and 5 Holes in the bottom piece on each side. I then clamped the angle Iron down in the cabinet and Pre-drilled the holes. Then I removed the angle iron and drilled the holes for the threaded inserts. I made sure that the holes in the angle iron were a little big so I could adjust them up or down to ensure that everything was level and it is a good a tight fit for the support board. One thing that I did before I drilled the holes for the threaded inserts was make a depth stop for the drill bit to keep me from drilling through the side of the cabinet. If anybody wants to see that let me know and I will post a couple of pictures. Its pretty simple I just took a piece nylon, Drilled a hole in it with the drill bit I was going to use, then I drilled and tapped a hole through the side for a set screw, then you just slide it over the drill bit where you want it and tighten the set screw down. It worked great. Here are some pictures of the mounts in the cabinet. I used lock washers so the screws will not loosen up.

Nice CP upgrade, the shape compliments the cabinet - should look pro when finished.

I'm not sure if I have exactly the same cabinet, but it sure looks like it. I'm working on installing a MK style control panel I'll put together some pictures as I go.
