mounting fluorescent fixture -- how?
versapak:
Call me confused, but if there is a hole that goes completely through it, then wouldn't that just as easily become a screw hole, wether intended for or not?
Worse comes to worse, I'd imagine you could jsut drill some screw holes into the unit. I personally would much rather screw it in, and KNOW that it is not going to be falling, then to tape it and just HOPE that it isn't going to fall.

Trust me, with the red double-faced tape, it won't fall. It's used to hang signs and has the strongest tensile strength. It will even get stronger as time passes - but then again, mount the unit the way you want it.

I am using Velcro to hold up a fizture in my cab. It holds extremely well too.

I ended up just cracking it open and throwing two 1/2" screws through the fixture into the top panel. It was quite a pain in the ass trying to get a screwdriver in there (ended up using a socket wrench with a screwdriver bit in it), but it worked.
Seems quite solid. Don't imagine it crashing down. The marquee looks really nice now. I got two pieces of plexiglass cut at a local shop and the fit perfectly (I'm using Happs marquee retainer).
Now just how to figure out how to affix the monitor glass and I'm all set! Can't believe I'm close to finishing this thing.
Thanks all for the suggestions.

You can use some silicon compound to do that
