Have a dual cab and I want to use these 22in vga crt monitors instead of the 25in polos that are in there.

Any suggestions on how I should proceed? I could cut the frames down on the polo's but that would be suxors.

Nice!!!

Can you post some more pics of the details? Or a brief description on how you did it?

I am always looking for ways to mount PC monitors in cabinets.

I did something similar with a 19" PC monitor using a discarded monitor frame from an Electrohome G07.

Does the strapping you used hold up to the weight pretty well or is it flimsy?
I've had to make custom mounts before, but usually use slotted heavy duty angle iron as billybob suggested, or build a frame using 2x2 oak lumber
 
Its rock solid I used slotted iron and made extensions and doubled them up for strength. I just reused the polo frame that came with the cab and made extensions where necessary. Ill post some better pics when I get home.

I can push on it and it doesn't budge even slightly.
 
I'm in the process of mounting the second monitor and Ill be posting pics step by step. Ran out of material so it will have to wait until tomorrow.
 
Its pretty straight forward how I mounted these I simply removed moved the top and bottom bracket from the polo frame. Made ears with slotted iron and bolted them to the monitor. I then made three extensions from the cabinets brackets on top and bolted the monitor to those. Took me about 15 minutes to do and the only tools I used was my dremel and drill.

As you can see in this pick the brackets are just resting on the bottom and bolted on top. I did run three screws into the bottom just for extra support.

I did double up on the extensions the straight iron is a bit more flimsy than the angle iron.
