I have a World Fair machine. I recently purchased a new set of plastics from Pinball Rescue. Before I install them I'm trying to figure out what to do about these sling shots. As you can see from the picture the center arm appears to be too high and it has scratched and warped the old plastics. I looked underneath and I don't see how to lower this. Can anyone give me an idea on what to do here? Thank you.

I didn't even realize I had two different sized posts but I sure did. I'm switching them out now. Thank you guys!

Thanks again everyone. I switched everything out. Great job by Pinball Rescue on the new plastics. My machine has a total of 10 of the higher caps. I now have 6 of them on the sling shots, the other 4 are on the long vertical metal bumpers on the far left and far right of the machine. Everything else has the shorter caps. I also purchased a new plastic wheel but I haven't installed it yet. It doesn't come with the metal rim around it so I'm not sure if I want to use it.

Yeah I think I want to keep the metal ring. I guess I would have to drill out the old rivets. I'm not sure I even want to risk that.
