I just started work on a recently aquired Spirit of 76 - The curved metal shield behindthe kickout hole in the center has 2 broken tabs and I'd like to replace the piece if I can- anybody have the name of this piece? or the Gottlieb number? I can always call Steve but I'd like to have the right name and part number if at all possible- Thanks!

Crap! Thanks Dirtflipper! Worst case- I can see about repairing the one that's in there now- I'll take a picture of the piece itself tonight and post it-

Thanks guys- I do have the tabs - maybe I'll try one of each method ( I have two broken tabs- the center tab is still good- we can contrast and compare the results-

Sorry I didn't get a pic on here yet- I'l get that up here tonight- Steve- the clips might work if I can't solder the originals back together- I assume the top hoop goes over the top of the guard? going to try solder first- just puled my parts out of the tumbler last night - I'l post a picture later today

Here are some picturesimage.jpgimage-980.jpg

Used acid sore silver bearing solder and a micro-torchimage-648.jpgimage-597.jpgimage.jpg. Here are the results the close ups are after solder- I buffed the part on the buffing wheels for a bit and I like the result. We'll see how it holds up.

Noticed one tab was off a bit and hit it again with the heat and got it in the right spot.

EM- was the plastic above this feature damaged as well ? Mine is broken in three places. I'm thinking the wobbly guard lead to the ball bashing the plastic into pieces.
