On a Lusid-design cab, what's the best way to mount an act-labs lightgun?

I got a cool little two-pronged rubberized hook from anthonyparkhill@hotmail.com for $8.  It looks like it was made to hold the Act-Labs gun.

I have a pair of real arcade lightgun holsters available. How about $15 shipped?

This is what I was originally going to do, but I chickened out on cutting holes in the front of my cab, so I went with Anthony's lightgun hooks.  They fit perfectly and I think they look great... far better than the cup hooks I was using...

Pocketbikez: What's that at the botom of the holster hole?  T-molding?  Or is is weatherstripping?

Wheres this 20 dollar bill, you want my paypal account? lol this is just my favorite, i used this marquee as a basis for mine, and also the lite gun holster from this cab, basically my cab will kind of be a tribute to yours, it was your ultimate arcade machine website that intruduced me to all of this.....
