    Quoted from zacaj:

    I love the cliffy improved guides but mine keep sliding down over time after the ball hits them enough
    My next flipper hop project is going to be my Speakeasy. Broken plastic guide on one side and bad hop even on the other side. It seems like mid-80s Bally just loved flipper hop and purposely induced it on every game with way too skinny inlane guides...

    You are supposed to file or grind out the original metal stand offs on the old lane guide and install them on the Cliffy lane guide. about half way through the document.

    I've also seen HEP take a a dowel with sand paper wrapped around it and slightly sand the hole where the flipper bushing is installed to allow adjustment of the flipper itself up/down/wherever to help smooth out flipper hop.
