    Just got my Maiden premium and it has these factory installed wing brackets. I did notice they aren't as tall as the B/W ones, will these factory brackets suffice or swap over to the B/W ones anyway? I'm also going to swap over the outer leg stand offs for the Mantis hidden type.

    Quoted from Spiderpin:

    Looks like the leg bolts need to be longer. Just saying.

    Quoted from PinMonk:

    I wonder if Stern just slapped that corner bracket over the crappy rectangular leg plate that's usually there?

    Ok, Mancave, your assignment is to rest the pin on a stool or pin dolly and remove that corner bracket to see what Stern's actually done, and take a picture without the corner bracket.

    I didn't take the bracket off, already had everything set up when i read your reply but you can definitely tell there is nothing sitting behind the bracket, it's sitting perfectly flush to the wood. Mantis protectors went on really easily and all seems great with the machine so far, both plungers are good, all switches registering and rock'n to some Irons tunes whilst smacking the silver ball around. Life is good

    Quoted from PinMonk:

    When you see what Stern thought was passable for leg plates during this time, it's laughable.

    Glad this helped you out!

    Seeing this pop up in the feed again was great timing. Are the new Bond's shipping with crap plates still or have they permanently changed to those 2/3rd size one's that the later Iron Maidens had in them?
