So, I just ordered the glass for my backbox, and I have my translite. How does it all go together? That may sound silly, but I've never dealt with a translite before, only painted on backglasses.

The trim pieces just slide on the edges and hold it together. Just make sure the glass is completely dry before putting on the translite.
Quoted from SealClubber:The edge pieces just slide on and hold it together.
So just the channels on the inside of the backbox?
No, the 4 plastic trim pieces around the glass.

Ah, so not the wooden channels. Well that's lame, I *just* ordered from pinballlife yesterday, and it seems I need the top and side plastic trim pieces. Time for another order I guess!
Thanks for the help!
Quoted from SealClubber:If you contact them before they ship they will update your order.
knowing Terry's quick turn-around speed, it's probably already on it's way
What game is this for? The reason I ask is that some manufacturers used longer side trim pieces than the ones that Terry sells. I just went through this a couple weeks back when I did one. BAA sells side pieces that are a few inches longer, so I ended up having to order a second set from them....
Didn't catch that. They may not be perfect but they will work even if too short. If too long you can cut them down with a razor blade.

That's exactly what I did. If it weren't a holiday weekend it wouldn't have worked out, but all's wellm and it should all be here by week's end!
Quoted from MattElder:Oops, I just noticed that you only have one game listed in your collection, so I guess we're talking about JD. Oddly enough, JD isn't listed in the compatible games for those side trims, so it may be worth checking out first.
Oh no!
