In need of a set of new pop bumper nails from a Williams pop bumper mechanism. In progress of building a custom pin while re-using parts from a donor machine. A number of the pop bumper threaded nails are missing, and I need a bunch of replacements. I've searched a bunch of supply websites, but haven't found any.
Help?
I get mine from Marco. I like the twist shank ones, I have had the fin shank type break with very little torque applied. I have learned to countersink the hole just a touch if your working with a new playfield. If not it will never pull down flush.

+1. I learned this the hard way with my KISS repro. Luckily I was able to pound the new ones out from underneath but then I had to reorder more.

Here's the Marco ones:
