So I just received this plumb bob from Marco, as my White Water was missing one: https://www.marcospecialties.com/pinball-parts/20-6502-A
However, it doesn't fit on whatever rod is in the machine, it's too big and doesn't catch on the threads. Marco lists a few different rods and I can't seem to find a solid answer for which one is correct. Anyone know which rod goes with this plumb bob?
Quoted from 85vett:I'm confused. It's not supposed to catch on the threads. You are supposed to have a nut at the bottom of it that holds it on. That nut is what you screw in and out to adjust the tightness of the tilt. Most people use a wingnut for the rod.
Is that what you are referring to?
Oh! You're right, I can't believe I didn't realize that... 
Thanks, the only tilt bobs I've ever worked with have had the screw built into the plumb bob, so it just didn't occur to me to put a nut on it.
