Quoted from debaser:

I have let Terry know. I ended up reusing my original flipper bushings as I was afraid of binding because the crank will sit lower inside the groove of the plunger.

On both Flash Gordon and Fathom I had to reuse the existing screws.

I also had an issue with the new coil stops as well. The height seemed slight off, because it would bind the panel at the very end of stroke, making the flipper stick, very slightly.

I found I could bend/warp the coil stop to fix it, or put the old one back in. I only discovered this by replacing every part one at a time.
