Bartop = sits on top of a bar not portable. The only way I can see this coming off the mount is if I flipped the entire cabinet upside down. I could put a piece of wood strapping on the inside to keep it secure but I don't really plan on moving this around too much and it sort of locks when in place on the mount.

Don't actually know. Had some lying around that fitted.
You could just measure the srews that's already used and the add the depth of the board.. Should be pretty easy.

I think the screws for the vesa mount on my LCD were 4 mm.

I have a 19" Dell that I decased, and will use the vesa mounting screws on the back into a peice of wood, like above in the first example. I will then use pocket screws to get the wood mounted in my cab. Did basically the same on my jukebox too.

Placed the old case, reassembled without the guts, on a coworkers desk to replace his monitor.
Picture of the same type of idea from my jukebox while building it, LCD wasn't decased for it -

Bougth some longer screws to hold the screen in the home made mount, and I fixed the MDF board to the sides with ledgers.
Really simple and cheap.
I made a very bad drawing showing what I'we done
