Oooh! Do you have a picture of this?

Thanks, look forward to it

Mylar won't hurt, but there's no guarantee it'll prevent further wear. If it did, there wouldn't be cliffys for new games- we'd just drop mylar and call it a day.

As for myself, I pulled the Tortuga front mylar and cut a new piece to fit and left the sling mylar where it was. But I doubt there'd have been a major problem had I left it on a home use game. I just wanted to give it the purest fit reasonable possible

If one is down the other will still work to open the cannon door. Check and see if the gate is catching on the rubber of the ship.

Ok so I've started to have irregular performance with the black pearl cannon gate. It seems as though the pictured spring attached to this hook thingy needs to be dead center. If the spring slides/pivots to the right during play the gate won't open all the way. Suggestions to stabilize this spring?

No, but pretty sure it's not that. When this spring is misaligned it still opens and stays open just not all the way.

If I manually move this little spring back center performance goes back to 100 percent and gate will fully open and I don't notice any lower playfield triggered glitches.

If it slides over to the right edge of this plastic with hole or whatever it is that's it's attached to, the gate doesn't open fully (but stays open as it should).

Ended up just making coil bracket adjustment from service position in the back, you don't need to take anything off. Thanks!

Anyone develop issues with the Tortuga VUK arm's rubber tip developing wear? Mine was one hundred percent same kickout for first couple months of ownership. Now, it seems to spray the ball all over the place. I inspected closely and it seems to have deformed. I have the gen 2 bracket.

Those factory metal washers aren't a good idea and are known to cause ripples. Switch them out to the service pack ones when you have a chance.

Mark! Welcome to the club.

Mileages may vary but on my game I noticed that the posts on the I and E lane took wear from clearcoatgate more than others. The best solution I think is a double washer solution, Hillman 1/4 inch rubber and 1/4 inch Hillman Nylon for stability on top of it (the rubber inverts in without it). Tightened down nice, the nylon height compresses so gives a negligible difference.

The post fix kit doesn't work. You'll just be wasting your time. The playfield will just bubble through them, and it doesn't take long. Buy a new set of double rung star posts, putting the sling rubber on the bottom rung, and rubber washers to go underneath them Hillman brand at Lowe's

Biggest issue is fit of the plastic housing on that mod. It has to slide all the way in so that the switch goes under the cross bar. I had to slightly trim the two holes so the wireform would actually pass all the way through as intended. Otherwise, it wouldn't go all the way. The original video instructions didn't make this clear or foresee this as an issue but once resolved you'll be good to go.
