Working on my ground up Shadow restoration that came from a container buy several years ago. The two plastic ball ramps or tubes that are mounted to the backboard section are destroyed. The one behind the battlefield was screwed on right through the side where the ball hit the screws each time through. Most of the parts places list these, however they are always sold out. Checking to see if someone had a source for them or if someone tried a different approach. I was looking at making a short brass wireform or even bending some plexi myself. If you had this issue I would be interested to see how you resolved it.

I am also doing a restore/pf swap on my re-import shadow and had the same problem. I was able to find both plastic mini ramps on this website.

FYI, it’s been 3 weeks and I still haven’t received them lol. Shipping from Australia is brutal... good luck on the restoration!

My local supplier has various widths of tube that could be used. Sliced down if you prefer.

Can you show us a photo of the ramp? You might get some advice on how to repair it.

Is this a part that one of you would be willing to reproduce?
For reference here are the three ramp manufacturers here on Pinside:

I' buy it. Both pieces. Mine's functional, but crappy looking.
