I ordered these from Paul Drabik back in the summer and finally got around to installing them this weekend.

They come packed like this. The product is of a very high quality.

My playfield had some bow but not too bad.

My left rail did not fit right out of the box and needed to be modified.

It is hitting the opto board bracket

The opto board was never installed in the original factory holes.

Rail now clears the opto board.

Next it was hitting a kicker bracket.

A little work with the Dremel and now it fits over the bracket.

The kit comes with very nice hardware, stainless steel. Notice the two shorter screw, they are very important. They must go in the correct hole or you will go through the playfield and have a nice screw hole you can see.

Left rail installed and all of the bow is gone.

I left the "short screw" sticker on as a reminder just in case I ever need to remove and reinstall the rail.

Right side required that I move the placement of the playfield slide rail. Past that installation was straight forward.

Over all installation, including the modification of the left rail, took less than an hour. Very good product and does a great job of fixing the sagging playfield issues that all SC's suffer from. Thanks to Paul for making this available!

Quoted from RobT:

Thanks for posting. I'm a bit surprised and disappointed by the modifications that had to be done to get the rails to fit though.

It would have been nice if they just went right in but they didn't and the modifications weren't too bad. I was giving the benefit of the doubt and attributing the required modifications to the fact that my SC is a prototype. I have seen a few other post of installs and no mentions of fit problems.

Quoted from RawleyD:

Awesome, thanks so much for the pics.
Took care of your bow problem very well. How's it play now?

Actually I didn't notice much difference in play but I don't think my deflection was that bad. It looked pretty bad in the first picture but when we had it apart shopping it we put a straight edge across the playfield from front to back and the bow was only about 1/8" if I remember correctly. The good things is now I don't have to worry about sag ever causing issues in the future.

Awesome, thx Tiger Law, just sent an email for the rails. Thanks again for looking for the info on the box for the solenoid. Appreciate the help

I got the solenoid cover that was available last month.
