Quoted from cottonm4:You have 3 options.
1) Get a piece of thin-wall angle iron. With a cutoff wheel and a drill you can make your own.
2) Got a local sheet metal shop and have them bend you and angle that they, or you, can cut and drill.
3) make 3 small U-shaped brackets and tap in some threads. In a pinch, you could probably make three u-shaped brackets from a soup can and bolt them in with some machine screws.
4) You could even use a piece of hardwood. If you have some wood left over from the rails you made, you could cut 3 pieces to size and lock them in with wood screws or sheet metal screws.
Lots of ways to skin this cat until you manage to find the right part. It is not a high stress point.
Rad! Thanks for the help @cottonm4. Looks like the piece I need is IB-616-4, but probably impossible to find. Any chance you have a pic or 2 of how to make something out of option #3? Sounds like the easiest route.
@gott_lieb, you don't have a 5 or 6 bank one do you? That 4-bank one that too-many-pins was looking for was probably for me! ;P
Quoted from Gott_Lieb:We probably have a 5 or 6, but it's attached to a complete bank. I wouldn't want to rob a bank just for that piece. You could always get two 3's and cut them. 3's are a lot more prevalent.
Got a 3? 
I have a very nice (tho not perfect by any means) bare Stingray playfield (and many other Stingray parts including all plastics) if someone is looking. Gonna post for sale soon, but thought I'd offer in here first.
Quoted from JoshPA:Can you send me pics? Interested if it’s an upgrade over mine. Thanks!

Quoted from ita47:With all the reproduction stuff available for these games, I can't believe no one has remade the correct Stern drop targets. I know the ones sold by PBResource are not the same and do not play the same as originals. I would think there would be plenty of demand if someone would just remake the originals. I know I would buy them for all my classic Sterns. Nothing looks better on a restored game than new drop targets, but they have to play correctly.
I posted 5 original Stern drop targets above. Not in NOS shape by any means, but I have a few if needed.
Curious if anyone knows the difference between the v1 and v2 classic Stern flipper brackets? While the layout of the screw holes is a bit different, I can't see why there would be any playing difference. The rebuild kits for both v1 and v2 are the same, but the brackets are indeed different. @djblouw?
Quoted from Mitch:I'm sure I do just dont know what that is. Do you have a picture.
I've stripped 6 populated stern playfields.

Quoted from BorgDog:I clear my cabs to even out the sheen of different paints and to smooth stencil edges and to add an extra layer of protection for the paint.
For cabs, what kind of clear are you guys using? I'd like to try this but don't want to deal with the highly toxic stuff. Maybe that means I'm out.

Quoted from Tsskinne:I agreed you should. Check out djblouw thread on his, he is almost done with his. I still have to start the cabinet for this one.
I'm working on one as well. Congrats on the Gazer Tommy

OK. So, if I were to put 6 digit displays in a 7 digit game (say, "Stingray" displays in a "Quicksilver"), would it work? I would think that just the 7th digit "0" would obviously not display, but (correct me if I'm wrong) that digit doesn't really change on 7-digit games right?
I realize having a 7-digit display in that game would be best, but I may save some money reusing some old displays.

Quoted from bluespin:All Stern Electronics and Chicago Coin was copyrighted. I read that Gary gave the rights to both companies to his ex wife in a divorce and she has never enforced her rights. That could just be a rumor though.
I can confirm that this true
