Hi all,

as you can see from the attached pictures, my gate has snapped! Does anyone have a spare?

Its annoying having the ball enter the shooter lane again all the time! lol

Yeah it's ****ing annoying sometimes as gates can snap, and there's literally hundreds of different ones that don't quite for each other. I bought wire off eBay that I bend myself with pliers now, does a good enough job and if it's slightly loose / slightly tight I can just chuck it away and make another one.
 
ok, here's what i have

Firstly a big bag of these type, which look like a pretty good match. Mesurements included

I'd be interested in a few spare gate wires.
I will contact you when I'm back from holiday and buy a few.
 
If anybody needs to make a gate (if Jim doesn't have it) I have found the best thing to use is 1/16" stainless steel TIG welding rod.
A couple of pairs of decent pliers and some good wire cutters and away you go.
 
@myPinballs they look good! When I get home from work I shall go measure see what size I need! Thanks!

@Andrew Stockdale cheers for the tip! If all else fails I shall be out to buy some welding rods :D

Cheers for all the fast replys! Great to see the forum is busy when other forums I use (mainly cars ones) are dying with not much activity!
