Quoted from PinballGalore:I’ve had radcals set aside for my wh2o and tz, just haven’t had the opportunity to cut holes out so they’re still waiting. But my wh2o backbox has unfaded sides and when I put a radcal next to it, the purple on the radcal seems faded,light, not nearly as vibrant. Other than the purple it all seems fine
My decals are pretty bad, but the backbox ones are trash. Being that I have changed essentially everything except that, I figure it will be a big improvement. I just got a forstner bit set, but kinda leery about the hole drilling. I dont wanna jack it up. Are there instructions included, or best practices?
Quoted from Kerry_Richard:Re: cutting holes for flipper buttons, start buttons etc on the Rad Cals.
EZPZ, Crisp, Quick and Clean. Simply drill a small pilot hole and drop this Flush Cut router bit in. Clean flush cuts in seconds!
I use the smallest flush cut ball bearing I could find on the Net. Amana Tool MR0105 Miniature 3/16 D Flush Trim with 3/16 D Ball Bearing x 7/16 CH x 1/8 Inch SHK Carbide Tipped Router Bit

I also purchased this for my Dremel. It works beautifully. I showed my 2 buddies and they used the one that came with their Dremel with similar results.

Hope this is helpful

You are a life saver. Thank you!
Was told mine shipped Oct 5. No tracking sent. I asked for tracking and was told "they don't usually send that".....ok whatever. As of yesterday till no radcals so I inquired about my order and now was told they shipped Oct 29. Yep no tracking again. Perhaps they will come by Christmas.
Update. Was emailed today that they were shipping today, a full 10 days after the previous shipping confirmation. 3 shipping confirmations so far, 2 of which have been obvious BS, a month and a week apart. Maybe my experience is an anomaly, but I can say that I won’t order another set of these ever again. There is obviously some sort of problem with simple truths, so I’ll hold my tongue. Buyers beware.
Follow up post. I got my Radcals yesterday, and started doing them tonight. I did the recessed bolts method for the head. So far so good. Only a little to trim around one of the sides and bottom for the head, and the front fit almost perfectly. Tomorrow I tackle the 2 sides.

Much better look than before. Fitment was really good. I trimmed the backbox using the roller router bit and my dremel as mentioned earlier in the thread.

I left mine. The radcals are so thick you can’t even tell.
Sorry for your predicament. My White Water was good on fitment. You’d think for $400 they would be flawless…..
