Anyone know where I can get these in the uk you know the ones the size of the plastic? One of mines broken from the air balls from b4 I replace the standups
I've not found anywhere as yet Rudi. Marcos stock a couple of kits for my R&B but they're pretty pricey and the shipping + potential taxes is a bit of a killer for me.
Tempted to give fender washers a try and see how I get on with those.
+1 The washers do the trick and are cheap. I got mine from 1stoppinball:You don't need the full plastic protector. Just use the PETG washers under the top and bottom corners and that will protect the vulnerable parts. The common break is the bottom corner caused by strikes from the opposite flipper as it bounces up off the star post.
You can buy a 50x50cm (~20x20") square sheet of the same material the PDI Plastic Protectors are made of (VIVAK PETG) on eBay for around £10 delivered (cheaper if 2mm is what you'd prefer). Imagine how many protectors you could cut out of a sheet that big!the washers do a job but the full protector looks heaps better,IMHO.

Ooh, interesting! I'm lucky that other than a little warping (which I can flatten out in the oven) the plastics on my project Paragon are in great shape. Out of curiosity, how are you going to print on your plastics?I've just bought some of that material but at 1.5mm thick. I'm planning on using it to make some repro plastics that I can't buy any more (shooter cover for my R&B is one of them).
