This repair has to do with a Williams T2 pinball that has had severe stripped wood screw holes.
The main problem is the right playfield hanger bracket that is in line with the
A-14525 Kickback Assembly on opposite sides of the playfield, followed by the
top playfield routed down channel for the A-14526 bracket. In all, this has left little wood
for the #6 sheet metal screws to grasp, and hold firmly, the A-14525 assembly.
This is the solution that I came up with for remounting the launch A-14525 Kickback Assembly.
----------------------
1) Removed the right playfield hanger bracket.
1a) #6 sheet metal screws have pierced through the playfield wood and have nicked the
--- hanger bracket. This effect is what caused the main mounting holes to strip-out.
2) I decided to make a few custom hardware pieces; by grinding down the head of two
-- hex washer head machine screws.

3) Then carefully fitted the hardware from the bottom playfield up through to the top side.

I added glue and small pieces of pop sickle sticks to shore up the huge holes.

4) Test fitted the A-14525 Kickback assembly to the new mounting hardware.

5) I wasn't sure about grounding short, so I add some electrical tape to hanger bracket.
