Anyone find these apron brackets too small? For my Centaur, they seem to be about 1/8 too short to mate up to the apron mounting holes. Is there a better source? Thanks!

Is the new playfield thicker than the original? The new wood plus the multiple layers of clearcoat is usually enough to make the difference you are seeing.

It's a CPR pf - I thought that might be too but measuring the old and new, they are both exactly the same 1/2". If I had a proper workshop, I'd just make them, but I don't. Anyone else know of a taller bracket?

can't you just drill some new holes in the bracket ?

There's exactly 1/8" metal between the hole and the edge of the bracket. I might try to elongate the hole a bit. It's a good suggestion, I didn't feel there was enough there, but I'll try this approach and see.
