Hi. I installed the Mezel mods lit Winkie target and the front of it rubs on the side of the playfield hole, I tried adding the plastic wedges in between the screws but no help.
Any ideas how to bend/adjust the target plastic or mech to move this towards center of the hole?
Thanks!

Since the drop target is the same as the original black one, AND the original wasnt installed that way, Check your work.
For small adjustments:
Bend the entire metal mech (Pull it towards the front of the game) forwards.
You only have to tweak it a small amount to free it up.
Other than that, loosen the mounting screws and press it back as far as possible.
If that fails, pull out the mech and elongate its mounting holes a bit until you can push it where is needs to be.
I’m pretty sure it’s mounted correctly however I’ll check that first. As far as pulling / bending the mech, do you recommend doing this while it is installed?
Thanks
Quoted from LTG:This. Springs and washers go on the other side of the target. You can see it in the picture.
Check the parts layout in the manual on page C-26 in the manual.
For flying spaghetti monster and country tell jjp to get LTG : ) Back !
That’s interesting and makes sense. This is how the factory winkie was installed. So, for the upper clip, it should be washer, spring, washer then plastic, then the only thing on the outside of the plastic should be the clip?

Just like the black target in your picture.

Thank you!
Quoted from LTG:Turn game off to adjust leaf blade switches :
Pop bumper. Adjust the leaf blade switch for it below the playfield.
Turn the game off. Lift playfield up and lean back. See the leaf blade switch ? The long one with the plastic spoon is pushed by a plastic rod coming down from the pop bumper skirt. This plastic spoon should be clean, ( not worn on older games ) well centered on the rod, just resting on it, not pushing it up. The shorter lower leaf blade switch should be close enough so the slightest ball hit triggers it yet vibration doesn't set it off. A little adjusting/tweaking, and you'll be fine.
Slingshot - Turn the game off. Remove the plastic over the sling shot kicker and leaf blade switches. Pull on the rubber ring around the posts, so you have equal pressure on all sides, not tight on the kicker/leaf blade switch side. The leaf blade switches - front long one should be resting on the rubber ring, not pushing it or away from it. Shorter rear one should be close enough so the slightest ball hit triggers it, yet vibration doesn't. There are two leaf blade switches, one each side of the kicker. At least one needs a little adjusting. When bending forward or backward, get as close to the fiberboard spacers as you can.
Then call jjp and let them know you miss LTG : )
You never cease to amaze me. Thank you!

The upper leaf switch is practically touching and the lower switch has a gap. I bent the upper switch with pliers so it has a small gap just like the lower switch, and this resolved the issue. Hopefully this can help someone. Thank you Lloyd!
