Title: Nintendo cabinet side art vs. bolts Post by: Tarantulas on July 22, 2014, 10:19:56 am My orange DK Junior cabinet (for whatever reason) has no side art, or remnants of side art. I look around online and see people's cabinets with art, but I don't see the telltale shine of the carriage bolts showing through.
Are people just applying the stickers over the top of the bolts (yikes), or are they applying the stickers and then making a small hole for the bolts to pass through? Before I spend $80 on new art, what's the best way to do this? Thanks again!

And the Dragon's Lair video cleared up how to hold the monitor in place while you're applying the art, and to avoid twisting the bolts while tightening everything back down. |
