I need some mounting suggestions for a 27" billabs in a TMNT cabinet

I have a billabs BL27CB0P 27" flat screen monitor that I would like to mount in my TMNT cabinet. Theres plenty of room in the cabinet but the original monitor sat on a angled shelf that I dont think I will be able to use with the new monitor. So I thought I might get some sort of metal angle to run across the top and bottom of the monitor to bolt the monitor to. Does have any pics of this monitor mounted in there  cabinet? Heres a link to the monitor I have. http://www.billabs.com/bl27cb0p.htm

Hey Muell67, did you ever get the monitor mounted? I am having the same issue and wondered if you got yours to fit, if so how?

Thanks,
Deefish

I have an old Sunset Riders which was actually a conversion of a TMNT cab that I am now using to convert to a MAME cab. I bought a 27" Betson monitor for it and was wondering how I was going to do the same thing. I ended up buying four regular ol' brackets from Home Depot. For the bottom 2 I had to lop off half of the bottom to have it correctly fit. Also, as you can see from the pics, I had to put a small wood block between the inside of the cab and the bracket to make the bracket reach the monitor brace. The "worst" part about it is that the heads of the lag bolts show through the outside of the cab. However, once it was painted, it blended in nicely (see last pic). I have no idea how the Billabs monitor looks, but maybe these pics will give you some ideas.
Good luck!

this is good stuff :) I just started building a TMNT/Simpsons cab from the plans on Jakobuds and I have the same monitor!  been wondering how to mount it.  I was thinking about mounting the monitor to a peice of plywood and then screwing some 1x2s inside to the cab to mount it to.  but those metal brackets look plenty sturdy!

I documented how I mounted this same monitor in my scratch-built Golden Tee cabinet.  You can see the steps here:
