Here is a link showing all the pop ring options including the custom Stern Pop Bumper Housing - sorry about the pricing - that generated by Shapeways due to the object size. But is saves the grinding the pop Stern pop bracket but just had an idea of how to overcome this will report back shortly.

Quoted from play_pinball:I took a quick video to show how awesome swinks Gen 1 plastic pop bumper ring mod turned out. Finally. Sorry it took me so long to get this together, Jady. I special requested these to replace the metal base pop bumpers. The rings have a smaller circumference as the playfield holes on these games is too small for modern replacement metal rings to pass through. It does require some modifications to the plastic style base to fit in the smaller playfield holes.
I hadn’t had any false fires in the 20 or so games I played, until I set the camera in front of it lol. Still need to sort out my spinners and some major bricking issues on the 7-8-9 drop bank (original targets in place, not repros).
Look at these babies fly though! Clearcoated playfield by Keith Holbrook @ Total Pinball Restorations.
looks real nice, thanks for sharing
Quoted from chuckwurt:Sorry. Didn’t mean anything by it. Just was surprised by the price and didn’t notice a difference via the video posted. Glad you like them. I agree on plastic pop rings on other sterns. They do have a cool smooth action. I just prefer stock on big game.
The price is mainly Shapeways fee, unfortunately since the part is tall and nothing else can be printed in the area of the longer posts Shapeways charge a volumetric fee upping the cost
info on the fairly new classic stern tombstone drops can be found here

PBR and Planetry make the hooded drops but they are more flexible and contribute to bricking. My targets are still PA12 solid nylon but a little more firmer.
