So yesterday I received all new plastics from CPR for my Bally Vector pinball machine in the mail (Thank God!). Today I'm trying to put some stuff back on my playfield after my teardown. Anyway, a few of the plastics that come with the set are there to replace ones that have metal pieces mounted to them. I have a crappy cell phone pic of two of the parts in question below:
For the Vector plastic in the picture, there is a metal bracket that has been riveted to the plastic. How do I get this off and how would I mount the metal piece back to the new plastic? Is there a special tool for this?
For the other plastic in the picture, there are several cone-shaped spacers that are affixed to the plastic. I was able to pry one off of the old plastic, but I tried to jam it into the new one with no luck. Again, is there some sort of special tool I can use to put these back on? I can use the old one, but honestly - look at the pic, mine are so yellowed that it would look awful to put them back side by side with new clear plastic.
Hoping some of you restorer pros can offer some help here. Thanks!
