New ramp - fettling the opening

[DRD]

I have installed the new ramp on my funhouse.



The left hand opening of the ramp is now a bit vulnerable to damage as it stands proud of the little lane guide in front of it. The good new is that it leaves the right side of the opening nicely protected by the stand up target

What would you do to fix pls ?

Options seem to be

1 - move ramp about 1 to 2mm over to left, fill the current playfield holes under the flexible steel flap, make new ones for the small self tapping screws
2 - fashion some form of cliffy for the left hand side opening, that sticks out further than the ramp plastic to smooth the transition from the lane guide to the ramp
3 - build a new lane guide that smooths the transition from the little lane guide to the left hand side of the ramp. Ie drill out the rivet closest to the ramp, put a packer in. Re- rivet it
4 - drill the playfield to re-use the existing guide. This is a non starter to me
5 - do nowt and hope that the new, thicker, ramp does not fail
6 - smash into bits and torch the entire game in a traditional burning ceremony

Thanks

Would go with option 2 myself David, Cliffy's seem to work well for other vunerable ramps (e.g. right ramp on Spiderman)

Option 6 wouldn't be worthwhile unless you had a Popeye or STTNG to go on the fire with it

How much was the new ramp? If it cost an arm and a leg definetly cliffy it or something, if it was £30 don't worry about it.

if it was £30 don't worry about it.

No guarantees though that any potential replacement for the new ramp (if something goes wrong) will only cost £30.
