OP
Quoted from High_End_Pins:

The playfield is stripped of all needed parts.
I will be using a new set of playfield rails from Taylor(Reeserails)
He always does a great job on these but at times there can be a variation between one sample or another,proto verses production do I always match them up first to verify or make any adjustments needed.
Nothing needed that I can see they look perfect.

Thanks for the mention and the continued patronage. You were my first order over a decade ago (TAF) and knowing my rails end up in some of your restores is truly humbling.

Quoted from Bryan_Kelly:

I have to admit, I was surprised when I saw Taylor pre drills all his rails to match the existing ones, both bottom side and top side.
I make my own rails and I don't pre drill anything until it's time to install them. Everything is drilled to match the playfield the rails are going on. Even in dealing with plastics, etc. that get mounted on top. I don't drill holes for them until I know exactly where the holes need to be. I've found, too many times when populating a new playfield, things may get shifted just the slightest (up, down, left or right), making the pre drilled holes unusable.

I rarely hear back from people that it is an issue so have continued to drill them. I think I have had 5 out of hundreds of sets that were such an issue that I had to make a new set. I would love to not drill them, it's a huge pain in the ass.
