I’m trying to piece together a complete cabinet and need some input. I have access to a LOTR cabinet minus the hardware (rails, lock bar, receiver, hinge brackets, coin door). Does anyone know if the hardware from a MET will fit on the LOTR cabinet without too much modification?
Also, would a LOTR head fit on a Spike II cabinet without modification?
Thanks

not sure about the head, but he hardware will fit.
lockdown bar is different as well...lotr had the handle where the met has the latches on each side. Just not sure and it may work, moving all of the new style to the old cab, could fit. the rails should work as I used the PBL lollipop on a old and new cab. but as mentioned the head is different so the head hinges may not transfer? However I think it could be made to fit.

he says the cabinet is missing the receiver also, so he just needs to get a receiver that matches the lockdown bar he has.

Ya I think that would make it work
Quoted from Cherga:Thanks for all the input! Sounds like my best bet will be to try to find the hardware that goes with the LOTR cab.
call pinball life, he has the best prices and selection on cabinet parts
