Title: Looking for side support bars for nintendo monitor
Post by: 2PacMan on July 19, 2006, 08:53:56 am

If anyone has seen a nintendo vs. kit, you know it comes with two horizontal support bars in addition to the side mounting brackets.  I am missing these two support bars.  Anyone have an extra set?  Basically if any has converted a nintendo vs. back to a DK or DKjr or mario, they should have these laying around as the monitor does not use them in the vertical position, only when mounting horizontally.

No, those aren't what i'm looking for, those are the horizontal mounting brackets.  I'm looking for the side support bars (damn nintendo and all their confusing brackets/bars! :) )  Here is what i'm looking for (pictured below).  There should be two, one on top and one on bottom of the monitor once it is turned horizontal.  These were not present on the original vertical monitor.

I have this from a wide body nintendo cabinet.  It was the top bracket on the monitor that is shown.  I don't really want to get rid of it, but I could give you the dimensions, and I'm sure you could fabricate something from lowes/home depot wares.  That is, if this is what you are talking about.

Thanks arcadefever, but those aren't the right ones.  That's for a vertically mounted monitor.  I need the two brackets for the horizontally mounted monitor, they are longer as they go on the longer sides of the monitor.  Thanks anyway though.

Bleemus, yes, i believe that's it.  If you could get me some measurements, that would be great.  Thank you.

For you or anyone else that needs the measurements, here they are.

The metal is 1/4 inch thick.
Each bend is 1 1/4 inches, thus making it a 2 1/2 piece bent at a 90 degree angle.
The piece is 25 3/16 inches long, pretty close to 25 1/4

There are 6 holes on one side at: 5/8, 2 7/16, 8 1/8, 17 1/8, 22 3/4, 24 5/8

This is for a wide body nintendo cabinet.

Good Luck!
