Elmhurst, IL
Quoted from DANGERTERROR:I am converting a High Speed with a very silly, rare conversion kit called La Retata (it’s Dragnet... and Robocop). and I tried a technique above to convert to WPC springs and I’m wondering if this problem arose because of the new springs. The clipper angle on one side is not parallel with the PF but at maybe 10 degrees or more, with the tip pointing slightly upward.
Pics attached.
I did not replace the bushing — that’s the next very annoying step. But I think maybe the spring is yanking the flipper up and back out of position?[quoted image][quoted image]
Replace the brushing. You might as well also replace that capacitor as well with the right one and then that spring should attach to the end of strike mount. You can drill a hole in it, which should be better than where it is now.
While you are at it, buy or borrow an air stapler, it will make that ground braid a snap.
It’s easier to do all of this now before wiring things up.
. That said I just finished a hot doggin and I went with a mix of both braid and wire since it was a little out of control. Not sure if I would do the stern sockets again, but there is a happy median somewhere.
