Black Knight
Williams, 1980Does anyone have an original Black Knight metal plastic protector they can measure for me? This is on the upper playfield ball lock in the upper left corner. I found dimensions online and also have a parts book that is supposed to be a to scale drawing. Problem is they do not measure up. I need width, length, thickness, and measurements to the angled cut off corner.
Thanks in advance Ed
In case anyone else is interested in this info. Here is a scale drawing with measurements drawn from the traced pattern I received. I do not have a measurement on the thickness or type of the metal but was told it looked like the same type and thickness as the stainless ball guides on each side of the ramps.

Thanks for these dimensions.. I was able to go to Walmart, and find the most flimsy cookie sheet I could, which cost me 88 cents, and come home and with your dimensions, cut out my own piece with my dremel in about 10 minutes.. It works GREAT and I highly recommend it for anyone who is missing this metal piece on their BK as I was..
Someday I hope to be able to replace the plastic, but for now, at least it'll stop shooting the ball into the glass!!
Here's a youtube video of it in action:
Thanks!!
