If someone with a DK/DKJr/Mario or the like could you answer two questions I have. First could you take a picture of your PCB mounting, mine is just loosely swinging because it only has two undersized screws acting like a pin at the two arms of the PCB bracket (I do not have the FCC cage?).

Second, do I have my grounds hooked up right. From the ground plug on the ac cord it goes to the plate where the switch is, the ISO transformer, the PSU, the arm from the cabinet holding the PCB bracket, speaker, control panel latch (which in turn grounds the joystick), and to the monitor (which I just attached today).
 
My DK cabaret is mounted like that by two wing nuts, but there is a wooden board that holds the bottom still. Same with my upright DK jr.

Mine has a wooden ledge, but doesn't make contact with the metal bracket. Is there wood that gets nailed together so the metal fits in between?
 
You can lower the "L"brackets till the board plate sits in the groove of the ledge.
If you don't have the wing bolts then you can use regular nuts and bolts.

There are no grooves on mine, just what looks like to be glue residue from someone ripping something out.

Edit, I think I answered my own question. I found this while googling random stuff.

I should be able to make one now that I have a picture.
