Quoted from goldenboy232:Another Top Card resto question: What do people use to replace the little metal "posts" (they look like very thin nails but don't have heads) that are right in the corner where the apron meets the wooden side-rails to keep drained balls from rolling back up the out-lanes?
I take 16 x 1-1/2" wire brads (finishing nails) and cut the heads off and file the top flat. They look as good as any factory pin.
That's not the original style post that was on Top Card. It is from an earlier generation game. So the hat style rubber that is on it is correct. Replace the post and the white mini post ring will work.
As for the rebound rubber, it is easier to remove if you leave the bracket attached to the arch. You can pull it off easier that way. What I do is carefully cut through the edge of the bumper to the center post and then just break it off. Spinning the new one is easy.
