Hey everyone, I've had a Jurassic Park for almost a year and I have two small issues. First is the somewhat common issue of the 2 green standups misaligning.
Has anyone successfully used the MezelMod splints for these? http://mezelmods.com/products/stern-target-splints?variant=923513721
If so which ones? I think the green target in the triple bank might be too crowded, but wondering if I could order the 1/2" or 1/4" version of the splint for the upper one.
And beyond that, is the only solution to shave the side of the target's plastic housing so it doesn't get wedged in misalignment?

Another issue is that sometimes the ball hops off the wireform at the right and in to the outlane. This isn't common, maybe once in 20-30 games, but very annoying when it does happen.
Does this happen for anyone else?
Mots often it's the ball rocketing down from the ramp shot, but every once in a while the ball jiggles out the side after the VUK.
I have my game a bit steeper than normal, so wondering if I have to either A) weld an extension rail to the VUK exit wireform to hold everything in place or B) give up and reduce steepness...

Quoted from Bugsy:

So as a ghetto fix I simply bent a paper clip around the wire form in the area where the ball was falling out. For my game, my ball was exiting the wire form and rolling over the sling plastic. I just got a paper clip and wrapped it so that it made sure the ball couldn't exit that same way. It's hardly noticeable when playing. It's not a permanent fix, but it does keep the ball from potentially damaging the plastic.
I think a better permanent solution is to soften the impact the ball makes when it hits the end of the wire form. I think that's what makes the ball "jostle" and ricochet out. So a piece of rubber or foam attached at the impact area should help this.

Thanks for the tip, I might just try something along this line. Can you post a photo of yours?
I might string up some metal wire. Sure beats welding new metal on.

One of these days I'll write up the definitive t-rex guide. It's kind of my area of expertise

YES. PLEASE.
