How in the HELL?! - Need some help for tomorrow!
darthbane2k:
I saw this pic in another thread
This is how I want to mount smoked plexi to my cab. I do not plan to use a bezel.
I am doing the screwing together tomorrow and laying the 1st coat of paint on sunday, so my question is HOW IN THE HELL DO I ATTACH THE PLEXI AND KEEP IT IN PLACE? I cant find this info ANYWHERE! Do I use a strip of MDF behind and screw it in place or what?
I know some people are using the control panel to hold it in, but my cab uses an x arcade (I know I know!) which slots into a cutout, I doubt it will have the weight to hold a sheet of glass in place.

what did you screw it onto? Did you put MDF strips behind the glass, attach to the sides of the cab and screw onto that, or did you screw where the top of the glass meets the marquee board?

The UAII plans that I'm working from suggest just that. Strips of MDF attached to the cab from behind the "bezel" area. they"ll be visible in your case though if you don't plan on using a bezel.
Perhaps routing out a channel below the marquee area for the plexi to sit in vertically, then just 2 screws at the bottom (behind the X-Arcade)?

Hi. I used strips of 3/4 " mdf and attached the plexi with industrial strength Velcro. This way you have no screws visible and its easy to remove the glass if you need to. You can get it inn the crafts department at walmart for a few bucks.
