Hi all GNR/JJP game owners. I wanted to make a quick post here to get the word out about my new Mod's for the Flippers and flipper shaft bushings upgrade that will fit all JJP games. I've posted the links below if you're interested in learning more about them. Thanks for looking

Just finished an install for a local customer on GNR main flippers. Flipper shaft bushings and flipper's both updated. It took 45 minutes due to having to remove the flipper mechanism mounting plate to access the lock nuts used to secure the bushings. That added about 15 minutes to the job.
After the install there was a noticiable difference in the 'before and after' game play. Both the flipper performance and stability was improved over the factory set-up. He was a happy guy when I left.
GNR is a cool game, I enjoyed playing it, so much so that I may have to bag one

He reports that he's now able to backhand the left ramp to the upper playfield. The only change made to the game was the installation of flipper and bushing mod.
I intend to go back over in a week or two and play his game again and check for myself. I only played his game a few times after the install to make sure everything was good, so I'm looking forward to playing it again. I really liked the game!
GNR Flippers N Game1 (resized).jpgBeen trying to get caught up on reading some of these forum threads as it's been a while since I visited this one. Thanks to those who posted their comments about my flipper system. In short adding just the bushings to the game will help improve the flipper response and power over the stock set-up, but will only yield about a 25% improvement. For some that might be enough, but swapping out the flipper's will dramatically improve the response.
Installing the keyed shaft/clamps will 100% eliminate any chance of the flipper bats rotating when installed properly. I do pre-assemble the clamps (left or right) and provide full installation instructions with photos. A did have a few customers who removed the clamping screws from the clamps upon receipt and then reinstalled the screws on the opposite (wrong side) during installation which resulted in the clamp not squeezing the shaft, they thought it was tight but all they were doing was tightening the screw without squeezing the clamp around the shaft.
The nice thing about this clamping system is that you don't have to tighten the crap out of the clamps. All that is required is to insure one has a small amount of verticle float in the shaft and bushing, just as was done at the factory, the shaft cannot rotate because the flats prevent any rotation within the clamp. The only way this clamp system can be used is with my flipper system due to the flipper bat and shaft being independent of each other.
Feel free to shoot me a PM if anyone needs additional info
