I just picked up f14 tomcat however it missing the two bolts that secure the backbox. Any ideas what size or length or thread type these bolts are?

Quoted from dmacy:Where to find these? McMaster? None of the pin shops seem to sell them.
If you want the original "thumb screw" style bolt, PBR and Parts4Pinballs has them in stock. Or, like Lloyd said, just get a standard bolt from a hardware store.
F-14 didn't ship with the thumbscrew type. Those started somewhere in the WPC run. I know TAF had bolts, but by TAFG, they were wing nuts.
Some games used 2 inch bolts, some 2.5 and I've seen some that needed 4 and 4.5 inch! Get regular 3/8-16 thread bolts with a big washer. If you have to get long ones, make sure the threads run pretty far down the bolt shaft.
Congrats on the tomcat, great game! Mine didn't come with bolts either. Home depot, and a handfull of washers.
