Great article vid1900. Any interest in posting this on PinballRehab.com? I could post for you and give you full credit if that's easier.

Quoted from chuckwurt:

Rebuilding my fire! Flippers. My coil has this tab that will not let me install the coil as you suggested. Should I just get it the way it came factory, or is it that big of a deal that I need a new could that I can flip around per your instructions?

It's better to put it the other way (reduces impact on the diodes/lugs), but not a huge issue since they're not getting beat on as much in a home environment. You could also just cut off the tab.

Quoted from Lethal_Inc:

The upper flippers also do not have the pin holes to align the flipper so what is the best way to align the upper flippers?

The holes aren't always that accurate anyways. Just line the flipper bat up with the guide that feeds the ball to it. The ball should transition smoothly to the flipper w/o a hop.
