Title: How should i fasten down my CP?
Post by: equlizer on February 02, 2018, 11:26:56 pm

I really dont want to go from the top as you would see screws unless there is another way to do it or i can screw it down from the sides.  I also thought about going from the sides using 1/8 pressure pins that i would just squeeze in at the bottom flush to the cp so i could swing it open then use 2 more pins on the top sides and put a ring on the pins so i could pull them out easily.
Any ideas would be appreciated :)
Or i could put some L brackets underneath which would make it so i dont need any screws on top or the side

I used this method.  A pan head screw on the top corners and hinges underneath :)
