Yes, you are missing the habitrail support spacer there. The item you linked is correct as long as the height is exactly right. I'd have to go measure to be sure.

Yes, you are indeed missing the post used to support the left return wirefrom ramp. Oddly enough, this was missing on the last AFM I did as well. The original post is an oddball size, not a 1/4" hex post – it has a wider diameter, want to say 3/8”. I can’t remember the exact specs on it though. I couldn't find it for sale anywhere, just ended up making one from scratch.

That part is not correct, although you could make it work.

The part you want is a 5/16" hex post. Both ends should be male with 8-32 threads. Overall length is 3 1/8" long. The length of the hex portion is 2 1/16" long.

The only place I've been able to find these has been Pinball Spare Parts in Australia, but it doesn't look like they have them in stock.

You know, I was missing that same post on my AFM when I bought it. After doing a bunch of searching I found this: http://www.pinball.co/Products/3157-02-5238-1.aspx

However, instead of ordering just 1 part and getting it shipped from Australia I decided instead to just kinda piece together my own. I bought a 2 inch hex standoff for $2, some threaded posts & a couple washers. Boom, done.

Also, the part you're actually looking for (assuming it's the one that goes between the playfield & the ramp) is 02-5238-1. See more info here:

Edit: And I see you've already discovered that!

Mine was missing also and actually looked like it was never installed since I didnt see any impression in the playfield wood. Crazy.

I purchased a lot of aluminum hex spacers to solve this problem with my AFM (the post that was on my game had the top threaded post broken off, so the ramp just sat on top of it. The original spacers were 2-1/16" (hex body length) with threaded posts top and bottom. Mine are just a hair under 2" and instead of a top threaded post, they have a female threaded socket. So to complete the solution, I simply added a couple washers to the top of the spacer and then fasten the ramp to it with a machine screw (8-32) and washer (above the ramp wire). To make this even easier, you could epoxy the washers in place.

I've attached a photo to show the dimensions of the spacers (they won't come with the washers and screw that I've shown it with).

In any event, I have 8 of these left if anyone is interested. I've kept one spare, so I'm happy to let these go to new homes. And don't worry about postage.
