Hello, I've recently purchased a Fish Tales and have a couple of missing plastics to buy.

Overall I'm very happy so far with the machine, it seems I will mostly need to do cosmetic improvements (fingers crossed !) so I may have further questions down the road....

While I was looking for plastics, I noticed that apparently some plastics were made to put on the top boat plastic ramp (cf picture), but it looks like a customized addition to the original look.

Would anyone have an idea where I could find these ?
I had a look at a number of shops who only have regular plastics in stock.
Thanks a lot !

Thanks Neal_W for the additional details - the clear plastic protectors should come in handy indeed, I've added that to my shopping list

For the 2 missing plastics I am buying, I haven't been able to find out which references of screws (and any other small parts needed) I should get to attach them... could someone please point me towards that ?

It's for the "casters club" and the small wave (#12, right side of the boat) but I would like to also buy new screws for the ramp boat and some other plastics which are worn out.
Thanks !

While I'm at it (sorry for double posting, seems I can't edit my post after 1h)... I was wondering about these visible lines on my fish tales, on rectangular areas which I know are usually prone to damage such as the fish inserts (cf photo) : is it some sort of Mylar protection has been put in place ? Or could it be a sticker that has been put to cover a damaged area ? What would you recommend doing about it ? just leave it as is ?

Good to know, thanks ! I'll leave it as is then and will soon do a first attempt at polishing and waxing the play field with Novus 2 and 1 grand blitz wax

Hi ! I wanted to put some all new coil sleeves on the flippers but the ones I bought don't fit, they seem to be ~1-2mm too tall and also the flipper plunger seems a bit too tight inside (though I can't see any diameter difference between the old and new sleeve)...

I thought I'd done my research well but did I buy the wrong reference ?
It's : Nylon - 2-3/16 x 1/2 inch - 03-7066-5

Fortunately the flippers work fine as is (just cleaning the sleeves and adjusting the EOS fixed my issue) but if in the future I need to change the sleeves, I'd rather know what's wrong

Quoted from Vernisious:

According to the Manuel, that is the correct coil sleeve. Maybe post a picture of your flipper assembly. Is it possible that someone changed the flippers. Some people don't like the lightning flippers.

Indeed the flippers have been changed to regular Williams flippers - here's pics of the coils and flippers, would they need different coil sleeve references ? Looks ok when I googled it.
By the way, has anyone ever done a regular size version of the yellow lightning flippers ? I like their aesthetics but wouldn't change to shorter flippers
