Looks like it would work. I have an IJ here that needs a mode hole mod. It kicks back about 75% right now. I'd want to have a Cliffy protector on the hole. You'd have to swing it around and drill three new holes for the protector.

You should be able to get the switch from Pinball Life.

Buy some of the above from Pinbits. Put a little under the bracket behind the mode start hole.

1. Drop dead foam on deflector (I did not remove mine)
2. Drop the saucer under the pf with washers
3. Change the right flipper coil to 11630. Don't worry, left ramp and left orbit are still fast. I'm sure it also helps with reducing air balls off the center drops.

I'm probably better than 99%, very rare to have a bounce out.

Good suggestions. The other thing you can do, it worked for my buddy, we elongated the screw holes on the deflector bracket and moved it back a bit. For him, after 1-3 didn't work, that did.

I think you should repair the scoop hole first and then put a cliffy on it to prevent further wear. If you don't repair it first the thin cliffy will take on the shape of the worn bit.
I'm no expert but repairing the hole should be pretty easy with some Quikwood epoxy putty.

What spidey says regarding the drop dead foam worked well for me also and does seem to be the best consensus solution (there are many posts on this subject!). In my case I did remove the deflector.

I drilled three new holes in the deflector plate as close to the bend as possible. This moved the plate back just far enough to completely solve any mode start rejects for my machine. I can even slam it hard from the right flipper without any problems. Real satisfying.

I've heard removing the plate entirely works well too, but I have a cliffy there that I wanted to keep to prevent any wear.

Edit: jalpert beat me to it, but basically the same idea.

I do miss the satisfying 'click' that the deflector used to make...

You should drill some holes or rough up the area (rather than sand smooth) which will give the quickwood something to bite into. Then you smooth and sand that out (I always oversize it) to fit. But yeah, you got the idea and the stuff works well. Good luck!

Now what I want to know is how many of you have made it to wizard mode om WIJ93' without modifying your game ? I did !

I have ounce..

With the mode scoop fix I got there twice in one game, but failed both times.

I have made wizard mode without any modifications. I didn't get the 1B point shot, though.

My saucer is at about a 70% stick rate, on average. I am going to try to elongate the screwholes on the plate to give it some room for adjustment. I just haven't had the time yet.

The shot is also a lot easier to stick if I backhand it from the left flipper.

Can't you just order direct from Cliffy, or is he out of stock?

I just got some from Cliffy himself about a month ago. I would try him directly.
