Recently picked up an IM and noticed how much the left whiplash target likes to move to the right (see pic). The Palantir target on LOTR has a similar issue but moves to the left IIRC. I've talked to other LOTR/IM owners and it seems to be a common problem that everyone deals with (just pushing it right/left every so often). Not a big deal, but with IM, mine moves far right after just a few plays it seems. I removed the target and tried tightening all the screws, but didn't make a difference.

Any mods that help with this issue? For example, someone sells reinforced targets for TZ that work great...

Another target that would really benefit from a solution is the "U" target to the left of the Quorra shot. The "U" movement on TRON makes the Quorra shot much more difficult (an already tight shot).

The problem is how fast it moves and does it effect play? For TRON, it definitely effects play...makes a hard shot even harder. If the target moves really slowly, not such a big deal (just move it back the next time the glass is off to clean or tweak something). If it moves quickly, and you need to remove the glass often for only this reason, it becomes a maintenance issue...

Not a huge deal, but after installing the industrial strength TZ clock/slot targets, made me think it would be nice to have a Stern mod for a similar problem...

Interesting point. I have ramp protectors, so it isn't a problem for me.

So I just tried a simple solution. I removed the "U" switch, added a couple drops of "super glue" between the switch and the metal/front bracket to keep it from shifting. Seems really solid now...played a few games with 0 movement. Time will tell, but if this works it seems like a solution that will apply to all the other targets.
