Quoted from Crash:Are those used on ramp drops?
They are usually used at ramp entrances or at the ends of lane guides.
Quoted from Titan_Pinball:Is that a Blue Nub of Death?
I have though about having these made, but I'm not sure silicone is up to the task.
I think these need to be very hard, and I don't know if I can get a Shore rating that
high without making it brittle.
I'll ask my manufacturer for some sample of our smaller rings at a very Shore and see what
they feel like.
This particular example is from a Bally/Williams game (Johnny Mnemonic), but I believe these are similar to the Blue Nubs of Death and may be interchangeable; somebody with more experience may want to chime in on that.
Not sure what these bumper pads are made out of originally, but always thought it was silicone. Thank you very much for looking into this!!

Quoted from Titan_Pinball:I'm certainly not ruling these out. I just don't know if silicone is up to the task of handling the abuse.
Is this particular size very common? I don't mind making the investment for the tooling if it's a regular part.
Also, are these easy to change out? I though a lot of these were riveted to something.
This is Williams/Bally part# 23-6766, and is used in numerous '90s games (Monster Bash, Cirqus Voltaire, Revenge From Mars, Johnny Mnemonic, Champion Pub, NBA Fastbreak, etc.). They are easy to remove and change out - normally held in place by a small retainer fastened with a single Allen screw.
Quoted from terryb:I would be concerned that silicone would have too much bounce.
Some games use the 1 inch square with adhesive backing.
Does anybody know what material these were made from originally? I was under the impression it was silicone.
