I just need a single flap for JP (I have the original as a template) but it seems like I need to spend like $50 in tools and metal to make one. I don't have any other projects that I'll need to make a ramp for. Happy to pay for time and materials, shipping, etc. I could even scan the part so I could send you the outline to cut it out. I think the biggest need is a hole punch, which is like $25 from Amazon that I don't really want to spend on a tool I will likely never use again.

I have invested so much in tools over the years, many of which just sit there never to be used again. I do so many different projects, hardly ever twice. For example.. a set of fuel line coupling release tools for a Ford truck. Oil pressure sender socket for a Yukon. Power stapler for reupholstering a poker table. I could keep going on. I was considering buying the rivet tools for the blind rivets... I found someone selling a set of "toolless" rivets for pinball flaps. I just don't have a call for that kind of thing on a regular enough basis to spend $30+ on a rivet setter.

Yep... Remove the flap and reblue. You can sand the flap if there are any issues with it.

Get a bluing kit from Cabela's. Invest in a rivet press while you're at it too.

If you own more than one pin, grab tbe rivot press. Never know, it could be used elsewhere.

You guys are all enablers.

The flap is busted out on one corner where a hole is and as long as I have it removed I figured I'd just remake it.

I do have a dremel... exactly what bit are you cutting circles and semicircles with in soft metal? I have various cutting and sanding discs but never was successful in trying to grind precise, intricate curves.

I have all kinds of tools that were one time use. It was either buy the tool and do the job myself or paying someone else a lot of money to do the job for me.

Ditto.. For example, I just bought a $500 Festool sander to strip the art off the sides of my JD so I can restore the cabinet and put new decals on it. I really have no other use for this nice of a sander, but the other option was to pay someone $700 do to the cabinet restore for me. This way, I save money and get another nice tool out of it. I'm sure I will find a use for it again someday and actually already have some ideas.

But I have plenty of tools that were bought for 1 time uses. A handful of them have come in handy years later, so its never bad to have them. Just storing them is the catch...

Should have said " a local guy turned you on" but I was doing something else at the time.

I rent Uhauls for shits and giggles and someone came in to rent one as I was reading your post. I have rented them for 4 months and have made all of $1500 so it isn't worth my effort.
