Quoted from RVH:
Just buy a new pair of complete flipper boards from pinball life.
I put those Great Lakes on my TZ at one time and trust me they suck!!!
I don’t wanna even sell them to get any money back.
100% agree and did the same.

Curious, what was wrong with them?
They just don't work correctly. The magnet positioning is extremely fussy, and even when it's taped into place, you'll still get flipper flutter or worse, no activation. It's been years since I had them in, periodically I find them when I'm looking for some other parts and I'm reminded of how much I hated them.
At the time I thought would be a reliable replacement for the then-unavailable plastic interrupter, but nope. I actually put back in a warped interrupter until I could get a replacement rather than use these.
They must work for SOMEONE though since until this thread I hadn't heard much complaints otherwise about them.

Buy thr ones from Pinball Life. Great lakes are junk. Inconsistent 99% of the time. I scrapped mine.
