Hi,

The playfield of my Earthshaker has become fragile with the time. I have to replace some woodscrews fasteners by post fasteners crossing the pf and nuts.

I am not sure about the dimensions of these fasteners. They must be thin enough to go through the post and long enough to cross the pf.

Any advice is welcome, thanks

That post is most likely a 6-32 thread with a 6-32 t nut.

Thank you, I have ordered fasteners like this but unfortunately they are too wide for the plastic post.

Regarding the length ?

Hi, thanks for asking. What I did is to drill into the playfield and in the new plastic. The post could not be fastened at the original place.
