Just picked up a Black Knight which has rebuilt flippers. None of the four flippers has a rubber cushion mounted where the plunger rests. Shouldn't it have one for the hardware to rest on? I picked up some today at my hardware store designed for a vehicle that fit perfectly. Second photo attached. With the rubber "snubber" installed, I just need to adjust the flipper at rest.

Quoted from vid1900:It changes the range of the flipper stroke.
Pull the rubber from one of them, and then look at the topside of the playfield to see how much range is gained from the other.
Thanks to all who have chimed in on this. I just adjusted the flipper that I had tried with the rubber to sit on the adjustment hole. Then compared at full stroke to the other flipper to find that it does restrict the range of the stroke. I just removed it and will leave it with no rubber. Putting the question to bed.
Quoted from Skidave:What is the recommended gap between the bottom of the flipper bat and the playfield surface? Not sure if this is different from manufacturer to manufacturer, but I'm looking specifically at late Bally EMs and early SS Bally machines. I am planning to rebuild flipper mechs and replace flipper bats in this process. I would like to know what is correct as I reassemble.
Thanks
For a quick estimate, it is usually the thickness of a credit card or gift card.
