I reused the old braid and just soldered new flush mount lamp
sockets (44) one at a time to the braid while still on the old playfield. Trace the braid with a pencil so you remember how to place it on the new playfield. I used a standard staple gun with 1/4" staples. My PPS repro playfield had dimples of where to drill for most holes. Some were missing though. I did have a problem with pop bumper stack switch holes not being in the exact correct location and had to epoxy hole and re
drill. This can happen, so patience is required. There will be a lot of tweaking afterward. An iPad works great for taking pics and lots of pics from different angles. And I did label and bag everything! And glad I did.
