Trying to figure out the best way to do a reproduction on a bezel.

I have the artwork cleaned up and ready to print.

Seems like these are my options, but maybe I am missing something:

1. Print it out and stick it behind some new plexi and cram it back into the cab. (seems like it would droop/look like shit)

2. Print it out and get 2 thinner pieces of plexi and sandwich the art between them. (seems like a good idea for a marquee, but would there be any strange visuals on the monitor going through 2 pieces of plexi like that?

3. Print it out and adhere it to the front of the plexi. (i don't like this idea)

4. Print it out and somehow adhere it to the back of the plexi. (this seems like it would be the most attractive option, but is there a way to even do this?)

Another note, this is a Taito cab with illuminated instruction card in the bezel, so it's going to have to support back-lighting.

Would love to hear some more ideas from you guys.
 
Sorry, Jungle Hunt..

There doesn't seem to be any available, repro or NOS..
 
I had gotten a repo bezel done and cut it to size. With an old generic cardboard bezel in the cab already that I am restoring. I took the bezel and glued it to the cardboard one and now have it sandwiched between the plexi and the monitor outer board. Looks fine.

HOWEVER! Don't make the mistake I did and used this cheap glue and it left a few small spots that showed through, and the bezel looks like it has wet spots. But not too bad, so be careful what you use.

I recommend (and if I could do it over) Just take masking tape and make a tape roll on all four sides and stick the new repo bezel to a cardboard one. and sandwich it between the plexi and outer monitor wood.
