This is actually for my Genco Big Top Rifle game: one of the switches has a 1/2" lifter. It was attached the blade with sticky tape as the little knobbly bit that goes in to the blade has broken off at some point years ago.
I asked PBR but they do not stock one this large
Anyone come across these?
And if not, I guess I try and make one from 2 x 1/4" lifters somehow?
Thoughts and advice very welcome?
I was going to say that PBR is the only place I know of that carries them, but 11/32" looks like the longest they carry. I guess make one like you suggested out of two smaller pieces epoxied together. Sometimes you have to be imaginative.
Thanks, I am going to try to join two 1/4" spacers. I drilled a small (1/16th) hole in the top of one, and with a drop of rhino glue, pushed the other on into it and left it to set overnight - will report back tomorrow on how this holds up.

i did the samething on a game once, only thing i did different was i placed a small piece of wire between the two in the hole i drilled then glued. i thought it would give the glue something to bite on. not sure it was really needed. the glue should have held it fine.
