I have 2 cabs, an Operation Thunderbolt and a Konami 4 player.

The Operation Thunderbolt is a mirror cab, the monitor tube faces up and the monitor mounts (bolts) on the sides.

The Konami 4 player has the monitor leaned back a little and the monitor mounts (bolts) on the bottom.

I got a replacement monitor for the Konami cab and the monitor only has mounting holes on the sides, no bottom. (The monitor has a caged back, just like the one in the Operation Thunderbolt.)

Does someone make a monitor mount conversion bracket from bottom to side?

I could fabricate one out of steel and weld/paint it, but I would like to avoid that.
 
I gave you the wrong impression when I said cage for the new monitor. Think something like this: http://www.jammajup.co.uk/jpgs/polo2.jpg (Which is what is in the Opp Thunderbolt too.)

The mounting area of the monitor in the Konami cab is integral to the monitor itself. The chassis it screwed onto the bottom board of the monitor which bolts to the cab.
 
Ok, so lets just say I have an empty cab that mounts the monitor on the bottom and the hantrex monitor in the link (except my hantrex is actually a little different model).

How do I mount it? Does someone make like an L kit or something that bolts to the bottom/the monitor?
 
Anyone have any experience swapping a monitor in a TMNT or Simpsons cab? (Or one of the other popular 4 player konami games/cabs?)

I've pulled one out and dropped in another, some fabricating was done to get it in, what's your question?
 
Thanks for the response! :)

What fabricating did you need to do? How did you do it? (Wood, metal, etc)

I had to use the existing brackets ( wood and metal), and then some more wood, screws, and nails. The holes didn't line up as I used a 27 inch monitor where it previously had a 25 inch.
