Target foam replacement

[RudeDogg1]

All 3 of the centre targets on bsd have lost their foam. I'm sure I remember seeing someone say they used something from b&q but I can't remember what that was

The Legend sells the correct target foam

Rudi - I use number plate foam fixers. Perfect depth and size, just need to slice off one side of adhesive with the old x acto knife.

I'm missing one of these and wasn't going to bother replacing it...how necessary are they?

 

[pinballmania]

They help stop the ball riding up on rebound and taking to the air/hitting the glass. They'll also protect the structure of the target from excess force and reduce metal fatigue.

Like the thread about whether to snip off a diode or not - I think a good starting point is that nothing is just there for the fun of it

 

[RobZombie]

Yeah, makes sense. Shame as I just threw away some foam packaging that would've been perfect. Doh!

You are far more likely to break plastics due to air balls if these foams are not in place

Not had any airballs off it so far (its the target next to the bear ramp on TAF), but I will get it sorted asap!
