Posting this here as well as the starship fantasy ramp thread to get more potential ideas / leads:
I'm sure I'm not alone in wanting a new train ramp for Who Dunnit as many of them have a broken off and missing the u shaped metal ball brake bracket at the exit to the left flipper inlane.

Thinking in the mean time and or if these never get made, would rob the one that doesn't get any abuse ( the top middle exit to the pop bumpers) and finagle the exit from a used spare ramp from another game to plastic weld onto the exit then screw in the metal u shape "ball brake" to it
Then add a small blue sticky back rubber to the place on the middle pop bumper where that middle exit ball may drop onto with its metal u shape taken off.
Alternatively, anyone know of anyone whoe sells these u shaped ball brakes?

Quoted from JodyG:

Starship is to be doing the rest of the Who Dunnit ramps later this year.

I'd like to wait for that but my customer buying this game is 92 years old so really can't wait for that. Everyday is a blessing. =)
So instead, solved my issue McGyver style via taking a metal ball brake off of a spare seen better days Bad Cats ramp.

Good idea! Even though one side of the ramp plastic where it mounts to is cracked off/ missing, the mantis piece will have 2 out of its 3 mounting tabs secured down. 1 to the post and one to the right side of the ramp

Getting near the home stretch on this one.
Adding this 1950s replica taxi cab after I fit it with a couple small leds behind the headlamps.
Thinking of tying the headlamps to the GI and another set inside the cabin attached to an appropriate feature light or 2.
