I assume you have a broken/warped/trashed one? Any photos? Any idea what gauge metal it is? I tried looking it up in the manual but the diagrams don’t offer much insight. Pics may help.

 

[DavidC]

2.25 mm gauge metal
see in plan...
but sadly i don t have one even damaged
maybe somebody can lend me one to have a gabarit

Ok the picture makes a lot of sense, it’s the metric that’s throwing me off. Gauge looks to be ‘thick’. No promises but I’ll fool around with it this weekend and see what I can do.

 

[DavidC]

i can give you imperial measures if needed i ve found a tool to convert on the net
here is an example

No worries, hopefully I’ll figure it out.

[DavidC]

Hi David
Sorry it was a crazy busy weekend - but at least I got another pin out of it!
I haven’t forgotten about this. I have a bit of a template fabbed up so I’ll try and get it into metal soon.
Cheers.

 

[DavidC]

no problems, no rush so mich to do to the game...thanks for your efforts to helm me with that thing

I did up a similar bracket for a hard drive for a Golden Tee I’m restoring, hopefully this works out as well.
What else does your machine need?

 

[DavidC]

any news?

 

[Fleetwood mIkea]

Should have time this weekend. Sorry to keep ya hangin.

 

[DavidC]

oh don t worry, was just asking!
so much things to clean and refurbish...
thanks for your help, very appreciated

Ok I’ve got a piece of thick sheet metal now so hopefully I can start fabricating soon.
I’ll be doing a few things with mine soon as well- maybe lite up buttons and button protectors, and I want to repaint the red on the cabinet since it’s all faded to yellow. I bought the alternate translite as well and it looks great. The rest seems to be in pretty good shape, although I’ve redone all of the rubbers, and colour post covers make a huge difference in the overall look.
Now all I need is some time....
