Has anyone here ever used battens to re-enforce the structure of a cabinet?

I'm about to do this with a Pole Position II cab and was wondering if there were other experiences with doing this.

Thanks.

I did a repair job on a Pole Position UR cabinet as well.
It's a tough cabinet in the sense that it's heavy and that the glue surfaces are not wood-to-wood.
I ended up doing something I usually don't do, modified it from it's original construction.
I added bolts at the bottom joints to keep the floor from breaking loose from the sides.
Really didn't look bad in the end, carriage bolts are often seen on machines anyway and these were just 2 on each side at the very bottom.
