to much torque on a standoff that got stuck during removal. it seems to be pretty hard to find after my first round of scouring the web. it is the first standoff right next to the right flipper and it supports the bowl.

the 1/4" hex portion is 1-7/8" and has a female #8-32 thread, and a 1-5/8" male thread on the other end.

anyone know where I might find this unicorn horn? thanks!

When all else fails, your trusty machine shop should be able to pop one out fairly reasonably. It maybe round stock but they can tap and die the ends with no problem.

Could this be it ? Threaded end has a little wow to it.image.jpgimage.jpg
Lmk and shoot me an address. I will mail it in an envolope.

Like mentioned above, you could make something work with a standard hex spacer.

Marco has a ton of different ones. At quick glance, I didnt see the size you mentioned but could have missed it.

When I installed prototype slingshot plastics on BSD, I bought the necessary hex standoffs from Grainger online when I could not get them from Marco, PBR, etc., and had them delivered to a store near me. I think it took about a week or two for them to show up.They are fairly inexpensive, sold in lots of 10 or 100.

could just get the correct size stand off and a piece of ss all thread to make one. Just add some CA glue when seating the all thread into the hex standoff.

Is this not what the forum is about, sharing a common interest. Not bashing companies and each other. Thank god this happened as I was really thinking about dropping off here.
