Replacing a bunch of the parts on all four flippers on a Paragon I just picked up. I’m discovering the holes are slightly smaller on all the bushings from PBR, and the screws don’t go through them. Can I just drill them out slightly?? Could this affect pawl placement somehow? Thanks…

Turns out, yes I can!
Working on a Paragon flipper rebuild, and replacing the EOS and secondary switches on the two bottom flippers. The replacement switches are wider than the ones they are replacing, and now the mounting screws aren’t long enough - even after removing the little metal piece that sits under the screw heads. What options might I have here? Feedback welcomed. Thank you!
Quoted from slochar:Transplant the new blades to the old stack.
Thanks! I didn’t realize that the bakelite came apart that easily! Rather than use the old stack, I removed a few of the spacers, and ended up with the exact same switch stack thicknesses without using the old ones. Thankfully there were multiple thin segments rather than larger single segments, so it was simple to do. And the extra length of tubing through the stack was easily trimmable with an exacto knife. Now all is well.
Quoted from GRUMPY:Keep all the spacers from switch stacks for the next time you may need them.
Yah, I learned awhile back to never throw any parts away, that could someday be useful.
