    Question Metal frame!

    I just received a Fever Macross machine (a long story for another thread) from Japan.
    Now I have a problem... this machine has a metal frame! How do I secure it in my cabinet? Do I run sheet metal screws right through it? Epoxy? Welding? Magic?

    I have an Eva 6 with the metal frame. I used heavy duty metal L-braces to attach to the stand it's on. Drilled pilot holes into frame, used sheet metal screws to attach L-brace to frame. Then wood screws to attach L-braces to stand.
    Woof!

    Is it all metal? My AvantGuarde Love Love has a metal frame but also has a wood strip along the top you can screw into. It also has a recessed channel around the frame you can slot wood into to hold it in place. And it has screw holes in the bottom to screw through the metal frame into your cabinet.

    I drilled through and used machine bolts/locking nuts, once you get over the idea of "modifying" the frame, the rest is easy !!!

    Closer examination and YES! Doa12 you were right. There is a strip of wood both on the top of the frame and bottom of the frame. The wood is wrapped by the metal frame but, I have power tools. I drilled 4 new holes through the cabinet sides into the top and bottom of the frame, through the metal and into the wood strip. I ran a 2" sheet-rock screw into each hole and BINGO, solid as a rock.
