How are y’all installing these without the silicone (or rubber) post caps flying off and falling into the mechanics of the game??? The post screws simply are NOT long enough to accommodate the neon plastics AND the factory plastics. A previous post of Freddy’s said to do away with the washer and “they should fit”.

1). There’s no washers on my posts, and there’s still not enough threading to grip acorn nuts or silicone caps w/neon installed.

2). Freddy’s suggests “they should fit”. That is correct, they should — except they don’t.

Now what?

TractorDoc Are taller threaded posts available for something like this? So far, I'm not yet sure what I'll do in this situation, but I don't really have the resources (nor the expertise) to fabricate new posts. My Fathom is near-mint, and I'm not really keen on messing with this CPR playfield with new T-nuts.

I snagged a set of plastics from Haggis, as theirs have the centers cut out, so as not to wash out the colors of the silkscreened plastics, and they also laser cut them so the clear parts on the plastics stay clear, and aren't covered with the green. Freddy's doesn't have that attention to detail that the Haggis ones have.

**Update**

I found that nylon acorn post caps grip the threads adequately. Up till now, I had been using the silicone push-on caps.
