Ok, starting my first flipper rebuild on my first pin space station. This is a great tutorial, and actually makes me feel better about doing it myself. Might there be any more tips to make this rebuild a little easier. Not scared or lazy, just want to do it right the first time. If you know what i mean.

You should be able to drill a small hole in the EOS plate. And hook your spring there. What kits did you buy?

I know pinball life has the upgraded flipper kits and new brackets. I have not done a FH just space station and F-14. I would think it is still possible to do and maybe not that hard. Take a few pics of the assembly. As for the yellow cap you would only need to replace it if it was there to begin with

But I as well as lots of folks miss Vids update's. I am waiting on him to finish his thread on repopulating PF's.
