Best way to convert adjustable shelves?

The cabinet uses recessed and flush metal runners that accept 10-24 machine screws creating the bracket. The screws are fitted with a tubular sleeve to create a straight surface. From the weight of the LPs, some of the screws have become bent, so I can't imagine using this system for components.

Thanks for the reply.

Thanks Blindjim, that's a great and simple solution.

That's how the top and bottom of the cabinet are constructed...at least it appears to be dowles but could be screws under dowle caps.

My only reservation is that the shelves are slightly undersized (width), so there is a small gap (3/16") between the sides of the shelves and the sides of the cabinet. Also, there is no back.

Good stuff..thanks Blindjim!

The sides are just as thick...1-3/8." The dowle or screw method should work. The bottom is already dowled and sits flat on the floor. There is a leveling issue there with the wood floor so I may have to figure out a way to deal with that...so the cabinet doesn't rock, is level, and does not damage the floor.

2chnlben - Those are great suggestions! Virtually eliminates any weight bearing concerns and maximizes the wood coupling for the entire cabinet...looks good too. Thanks.
