Quoted from Plumonium:In the meantime, I cleaned the blue ramp. It was one of the first thing to come off and I just left it in my parts box. That thing was dirty. It came off like new it's amazing. I also went with the blue/red theme flasher dome colors even if I'm going to take the GI back to white only.
How did you get it to look so blue? My ramp is UV faded and it only looks blue under the plastic cover.

Quoted from Plumonium:Like Dudah said, it distributes the force of the ball hitting that tiny post at repetition. This post is famous for chewing up the playfield or simply breaking.
My post was broken and the shaft still in the threads, someone put in a big wood screw in front with a rubber sleeve around as replacement. Very common. I filled in the front hole and repaired around the correct hole with the T-nut underneath. This post is a 6-32 instead of 8-32 used pretty much elsewhere, especially in a vulnerable location. Design flaw.
Hmm.. Maybe I'll swap this out when i do mine.
Quoted from Plumonium:What yours looks like?
I’ll grab a pic.

Quoted from Plumonium:Few more late nights this week and I'm almost done. All star posts on, all rubbers (I'm trying Titan silicon rubber on the slingshot), Comet lights are on both top side (2smd white sunlight frosted) and inserts (1smd color matching non-ghosting frosted) Also went with LED flashers in amber and yellow for the pops and sun (giving this a try) . Regular bulbs for the domes and 1251.
I'm curious about your experience with the LED flashers. I only use Comet bulbs and know their stuff is great.
Quoted from Plumonium:Feels good to install new plastic starting with the visor. I did not forget clear lexan washer for protection.
I put in a full plastic protector set for piece of mind. Staying tuned about the washer performance.
