I need a Firepower backglass. The game is a project so I don't want anything fancy. As of now it has nothing so even a terrible backglass would be ok. If the game cleans up nicely maybe I'll consider a repro but for now anything is better than nothing.

Any chance of a thread documenting this? I'd love to try it.

Quoted from dzorbas:

In case anyone needs to replace their rails, you can get Taylor to make them for you (https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/oak-replacement-playfield-rails-wh2o-and-taf-ready-to-ship-or-york).
If you are handy and have access to a table saw, you can do it yourself cheap and easy. The rails are 1-1/8" high and 1/2" wide in various lengths. You can use the following for the material:
US - http://www.homedepot.com/p/Oak-Hobby-Board-Common-1-2-in-x-4-in-x-3-ft-Actual-0-5-in-x-3-5-in-x-36-in-5x4x3OR/206750862
Canada - https://www.homedepot.ca/en/home/p.oak-hobby-board-12-x-3-x-4-feet.1000761164.html
When you rip the piece with the table saw you will have enough left over to run it through again to make a second piece. Cut them to length, sand all the edges a bit just to remove the sharpness. Paint or stain them whatever colour you like. I ended up making mine black but thought about red or blue or some combination. The paint/stain will probably cost you more than the material!
This is definitely not rocket science and I think they look a lot better than that fake oak wrap that was used in the factory!

Still looking for a backglass in any condition in the New England area. The game is a player so anything is better than nothing. If it cleans up nice I'll get a repro but I need anything right now.
