Looking to make things prettier.

I’ve just RADCAL’ed:
1) TZ
2) WH2O
3) IJPA is next.

The old bolts aren’t as nice now that everything is shiny, and I’d like to get some chrome ones from pinball plating. I’m not sure what the correct cabinet (sides and front/coin door) and backboard bolts are and how many are needed for each one, as apparently this may vary.
Can I get some help, for a list of the correct sized bolts all round, for these 3 titles? I asked Chris at pinball plating if he might have a list for each game, like led or rubber kits do, but he doesn’t. Actually, here’s his reply:

“We kinda know sometimes what games use but I'm going to need your help to know for sure. Bally/Williams had a couple of different types of bolts they used for holding the playfields in, etc. If you can get me the number of bolts used where on each game and in what plating you need those bolts that will help a lot. The playfield bolts either have a weird shoulder on them or they are just threaded all the way to the bolt head. Get me whatever you can, glad to help make it happen.”

I’m a Metric man so I’m a little unsure about figuring out the right ones by their size. I’ve marked some just to make it clear, in case something wasn’t.

Thanks in advance

I’ve have two friends that have installed RADCALS. One counter sinks the bolts and puts the RADCAL over the top. I would be concerned if I ever needed to remove the bolt. The other does the traditional way of drilling a hole. I’m getting ready to install a set and I’m struggling to decide which way to go.

I'd be nervous as shit about mis-drilling the holes....

Probably looks better counter-sinking them - I don't know why you'd remove them once you've Radcal'd the thing...

If/when I try them, I'll countersink, i think.
