I'm busy placing bumpers on a new repro playfield.
My problem is that the heads of the threaded nails that go through the playfield and hold the bumper brackets in place, sit slightly above the playfield. This won't be too good for the ball.
I've tried hammering them down with a nail driver while supporting the playfield underneath, but no luck. I also tried tightening a nut below against a drilled piece of wood to pull the nail down and the nail just snapped.
Should I just live with the nails not being flush with the playfield? They weren't on the original (it's a Xenon) but were still closer than I can get them. The original also had mylar rings around the bumpers but the nail heads had worn through it.
The only other option I can see is just to hammer with even more force. Am I missing a trick?
Thanks!
