Hello again, hope everyone is doing great.

Just a quick question or two.....

What should the EOS flipper gap be for Taxi and Funhouse? I'm getting ready to upgrade/replace my Taxi flippers to the Fliptronic style and everything I found (Vid's amazing guide, other posts and videos) states the gap should be 1/8 inches (or .125 in.) unless the manual states otherwise. In both the Taxi and Funhouse manual it has .062 inches (1/16) and I just wanted to make sure I do this right as this is my first flipper rebuild and I don't want to burn these new coils. I also didn't know if by upgrading to Fliptronic if that supersedes the manual requirements as other posts I've seen about Taxi had 1/8 in. mentioned for the EOS gap.

Also, how does everyone measure this gap or do you just eyeball it? I think I read somewhere that a nickel's thickness is about 1/16th of an inch but figured I'd ask since this seems to be a pretty important measurement (too much then weak flipper, too little then too strong).

Below pics are from the Taxi and FH manuals:

Thanks everyone and apologies for the confusion about stating Fliptronics...didn't realize that meant changing from Closed to Open.

All I was going to do is update them away from the conical spring and use the extension spring and spring tab as dozer1 mentioned. After reading almost all of Vid's guide, I guess I started going cross eyed.

What feeler gauge are you referring to, the one used between the flipper bat and the bushing or in my case a credit card? If so, that seems a bit smaller compared to the thickness of a nickel? I know I am probably overthinking it but my OCD gets the best of me and just figured if I could just use something to measure it, like a nickel, that would make it easier and take the guess work out.

I really appreciate all the help.

Gotcha and thanks for the tips.

Awesome, thanks for the link.
