A thousand pictures say a million words!

EDIT: the metal tags were removed here and the original bezel was used instead to hold the screen in place

thanks a million guys. couldn't have done it without ya scouse

Scouse Monkey · 08-07-2006, 11:24 AM

i am amazed by your new bezel - such an improvement over the 1st one. got any more details of how you did it? paint etc? (dont make me go you know where to look for your thread

)

Sama · 08-07-2006, 12:11 PM

hehe. I redid it exactly as before only this time I was very careful when putting plexi on to make sure it was straight. I used less hardner so I had more time to manouver it.

As for paint, I tried once... looked poo. I tried again, looked better but still poo, then I got someone in Beirut to spray it. looked like his face. so in the end, I went to a local garage here and he gave me a peice of art of paintwork.

I do think it's a shame I didn't do that part myself, but then, the same can go for the IBUS interface. I could make my own or buy one

today I'll be getting some anti-theft screw heads to secure the screen properly and make sure noone snicks it!

Scouse Monkey · 08-07-2006, 02:23 PM

anti-theft screw heads????

2Fast · 08-07-2006, 02:41 PM

You can only do them up as the other side is ramped.

You can just see some on this pic.

Scouse Monkey · 08-07-2006, 02:59 PM

just secure a big chain to the back of the screen and bolt it to the bulkhead
