How do these rods work with a Williams style housing? I have a show quality chrome one from the Refinery on my Stern Met and would like to get one for my GB when it comes.

Quoted from MK6PIN:I had to sand the chrome face of shooter housing on all my games (including chromed out TRONLE). Williams housing the same (on my TZ and TAF). Has to be a good electrical connection or the rod will flicker. I've read some did ok without having to sand the Chrome, but not mine. It's virtually invisible when the washer covers it. It's far and away my favorite shooter rod mod ( I've got color changing, pulsing, other effects depending on the game), and I like the feel of the round ball as opposed to grabbing a head or emblem or something....highly recommend!!!!
The chrome job the Refinery does is thicker and top notch so I'll have to do as you did. Thanks MK
Quoted from MK6PIN:I was nervous, but promise you wont even notice it I used a metal file
Piece of cake, I've drilled holes to run wires in new pf's, drilled holes in ramps to get at pop cap screws so I didn't have to remove the whole ramp and attached pieces for just one screw, drilled big center holes and 2 smaller ones so I could ad mini domes to the pop caps of my Avatar LE, removed, heated and bent a pf plastic on Mustang pro so I could light it up with a led strip and more....all without batting an eye. They all turned out great too.
I think I'm a creative kind of guy you are too. 
You should see the inside of my garage finishing I'm doing myself, turning out pretty nice.
But back on topic...OP, get yours mounted yet?
Quoted from yzfguy:Not yet.... I m ordering a new housing to try it on in a vise and if I am successful I will swap out
Do you have a solid color or a color changer? With either a great addition would be beatmasters shooter housing light up and my new LED Leg Light-Up.
You never said what game it's on.

Quoted from MK6PIN:Yep....alot of guys did this when they broke the other housing trying to get the brass out. I think the B/W can slide around a bit more, too, so you can line up the rod perfectly w the ball (a Lloyd tip that has helped me in the past).
and if you want the Refinery has a show quality chrome B/W one for sale and boy is it nice. I've got them on 4 of my games along with their show quality leg bolts which makes the regular bolts look like trash.
Quoted from glasairpilot:I just bought an interactive backbox panel for STLE and it is probably one of the nicest mods for any machine I have seen.
Well you must not have seen my LED Leg Light-Ups or Beatmasters shooter housing light up yet then. They make the front of your cab come to life with light.
