Quoted from siddhartha:I installed some new cannons with the dome lights, but when I slide in the glass it hits the left dome. It's like the playfield needs to be a 1/8" to 1/4" lower. I've checked and it's bang on level left to right at the cannons. The cannons are as far down as possible and identically setup on both sides. Lifting the glass inside the slide channel doesn't do much to help, so I'm hesitant to work on anything there.
Has anyone had any success lowering the lockdown bar receiver? I notice that the two brass adjustment screws on mine are pretty much tightened all the way and the top of the receiver is perfectly flush with the top of the front of the cab. I'm thinking of remounting the whole thing maybe 1/4" lower.
EDIT: I have a feeling it might be easier to put in longer hanger brackets than modifying the lockdown bar receiver. Does anyone have any pictures or measurements of their hanger brackets so I can see if mine are even the correct ones? This issue is probably also why my launch habitrail took forever to adjust so it doesn't tap the glass...
I'm not home right now, but I think Mantis sells those hangers to cross reference -visually anyway.....those brass screws actually control the slide bar below it...if they're too tight, it won't allow it to slide easily...loosening them up will allow that slide to drop a bit to more easily "catch" the tabs in the lockdown bar.
