System 11 playfield support/bracket

[PinIB]

I’ve been going through a Whirlwind from top to bottom to try and get it playing properly before a full strip down.

One of the quirks is that the playfield is p***ed in the machine. One of the reasons is that someone thought it was a good idea to balance the playfield on just two bolts. These bolts are now destroying the cabinet.

Anyone know what the proper bolt sleeve is called?

This is a similar one with a proper sleeve …..

Yes they are called pivot nuts - about 1/2” long on my system 11. Pinball Mania have them.
There should be a washer on the bolt thread then the pivot nut.

I had exactly the same problem on my Taxi.

Andy sorted me out with this:
