I am looking for any recommendations on where to purchase replacement ramp flaps? Specifically Twilight Zone. My understanding is Pinbits seems to be MIA. Has anyone made them with blue spring steel stock? How clean of a cut can you get? Appreciate any advice.

I am interested too. I have several NOS ramps with no flaps. I bought a handheld rivet kit from a fellow pinsider.

So I’d still consider myself a pinball novice, but my getaway flap turned out very nice using just: spring steel, tin snips, Dremel, and a belt sander (to straighten edge).

I didn’t even have the right rivets or rivet tools, but pop rivets and some strategic hammering and dremeling worked fine.

If I can get it to turn out well, probably anyone on here can.

I didnt do a full on search for a TZ flap, but you could start here.
