Going to make a clear plastics/plastic protector set for ToM.
The available sets seem over kill to me.
The pinbits/pinball decal set has 9! and the clear set has 4.

A set of them + the clears will run you $60 + postage.
way too much imo.
I was thinking of doing a set with just the sling protectors,entrance ramp (seems a common one) and the 2 clear plastics above the ramps.Fresh clear ones really make a difference.
Anyone think there needs to be more?
Maybe the top most plastics on the out lane guides?

Thanks!
 
when you say the entrance ramp, do you mean the small-ish clear one on top of the launch ramp or the larger coloured PF level plastic that slots under the launch ramp?

On my TOM the latter PF plastic has split and if/ when I get a replacement I'd be interested in something to protect against a repeat break (plus any other protectors you're offering).
 
Yeah thats what I meant as the small one on the launch ramp - I don't really notice it when playing though so thought it was lots smaller than the broken one I was on about underneath my ramp:

You seem pretty good at these, why not do the neon coloured plastics that hold the light.
I'd be interested in a set of two of those.
 
Cheers.
The colored stuff is silly money.Not that the clear is mad cheap or anything.
If I get some colored stuff I have the cad work done so I can run it off.
Next time im talking to the plastic supplier I'll get some prices but I think it would shock you!
 
Find out anyway as I'd be interested if you could knock them out cheaper than what's already available.
 
And me!

EDIT - just read again and i thing i may have gotten confused. Dont want plastics for a TOM - Would like some coloured plastics for some others tho!

Will defo have a set before the end of next week.
Just trying to decide whats needed.
So far
2 slings
2 ramp clear cover bits
entrance and the small clear under the ramp.

The thing is tho the posts on the slings dont have a lot of play.
So when you install the protectors the upright bolt only has a thread or a thread and a half exposed.
It works fine but leaves a "hole" in the nut.
Acorn nuts would look good on them.
