On LOTR the left habitrail has a plastic shield to prevent the ball from flying out.
It looks like an after thought by Stern. I made this fix using 1/8 inch brass rod.
###Edit- I have started selling these for $20 shipped-- just PM me###I had to raise the price as I was loosing money. I try to break even, I just don't want to loose money.

This is exactly how it was made(a heavy set of needle nose pliers). Nothing to complicated. The angle at the top has to be there so the ball coming from the shire can clear it. I just bought some 1/8 inch solid brass rod from the hardware store and started bending(this was my second attempt-- complete failure on the first). Then I used good old novus #2 to polish.

I could sell some but, it was fairly easy to make and the brass rod was $7.00 for three feet (thats a lot of mistakes worth).
If you don't want to try, PM me and I can make some more.

SilverUnicorn-
Glad you like it. I only have one good Idea a year and I am sure this is it.

P.S. I removed the post where the plastic was mounted (4 screws)
Then painted the 4 screw heads black and replaced just the screws.
You can hardly see them now.

For pinsiders ONLY-
I will make these for $15 including shipping-
Or try making it yourself (I would love to see others variations)
Just PM me

I am still making this rail mod for any Pinsider who is interested- please feel free to PM me.
Or try making it yourself- it is very easy and cheap.

I do not clear coat them- I would think the rail could be sprayed with some clear Acrylic.
I have had one on my machine for over a year and it still looks good.
-EDIT-
***I have started clear coating just to be sure nobody has any problems.***

I have started coating these. I just use spray can coat and seems to work well- FYI.

Thanks for all the nice comments.

I am really happy that everyone like it!

I do still make them. Just PM me
