Hello All - working on a project Pinbot and I noticed that the "hood" is pretty warped, almost like it got heated up over time. I've worked on a couple other Pinbots and never seen this before. Before I go doing anything crazy, I was wondering if my best bet is to carefully heat it up and reshape it?

Normally with warped or bowed plastics that's the easiest thing to do, but in those cases they're usually supposed to be "flat" so it's easy to heat them and flatten them using various methods. In this case, I'm not sure what the best suggestion is, so I thought I'd seek a little advice before tackling it.

Thanks!

Good call thanks ... and holy cow that red/blue ramp he did looks great. I will carefully try to work with the one I have, and if that fails, I'll have to hit up Freeplay40.

His Ramp (before finished product... but wow) https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/freeplay40-ramps/page/50#post-4526483

Lucky you haha. I'll see what I can do with it, crazy it looks like that though!
