How quickly have you been receiving them ?No probs Andy yer welcome.....totally agree with the us postal costs...totally bonkers..then there's the custom costs and post office handling fees...crazy. Had three parcels from pinball center with no customs intervention at all....
I have an order with them for some bumper caps that was supposedly processed a week ago and I haven't received it yet.
Mel at 1stoppinball usually has them in stock
Smashing.
If it's in stock been 3 - 5 days.....
Ordered from Phil now mate.

There won't be any customs charges if you're buying within the EU. Well at least while we're still in the EU.
Ohh...yes is that why never thought about it...useful info thanks...saves a load of money...
Stupid question - can you install these without using the screws....don't want to put holes in the cab, just want to protect from wear. Or are there other protectors that don't need screwing in to the cab?

Have always thought the same thing with these, guessing it's ok when covering up existing wear as assuming they won't be removed but adding them to an undamaged cab ironically means causing damage that can be seen if they are removed
There are self adhesive film ones available, like these ...

I think others sell them if you search around.
I once bought some from a UK ebay seller but to be honest the particular ones I got were a pig to fit due to the thinness of the material/adhesive strength - tricky to get in position, I ended up wrinkling them, swearing, and binning them
The flipper button flange doesn't sit on top of the protector, these have to be screwed into the cab to stay in place
Well that's a kick in the nuts and no mistake.The flipper button flange doesn't sit on top of the protector, these have to be screwed into the cab to stay in place

Grrr....thats what I thought
The search for non-destructive (to the cab) flipper button protectors continues!
I don't see what all the fuss is about, why would anyone ever take them back off?
It may be too late for my LOTR cab?
Not that it's really noticeable anyway

Do you wear emery cloth gloves when you play ?It may be too late for my LOTR cab?

They are fine but my LOTR has the stupid double buttons for wet pants players. I want to remove the extra buttons so the metal ones will cover up the holes.
I just hate the idea of putting holes in a cab.
you need the blade thingies then, the ones that replace the side rails
Yeah. The 'axe' rails. That's what I did when I removed the extra buttons on my TSPP back in the day. (I believe you now own that very machine Dan!)
