I bought a Firepower earlier this week and I would like to replace some of the missing, broken or incorrect parts. I'm putting together a nice order from Marco right now but I have a few questions and I'm hoping someone can help:

Standup targets: I believe the target faces in the middle left (1-3) and right (4-6) bank target faces should be round and red with a rivet in the centre plus a Firepower decal applied.

Are the target faces in the far right POWER bank the same or should they be red and white bullseye faces? I have seen both types installed in this bank in photos online. Is this accurate? Can I replace incorrect faces without replacing each target unit? If not, what are the appropriate target unit replacements and where can I buy them? I've looked at Marco and PBR but I'm not sure which ones to purchase.

Left return frame support post: I have seen several posts with people looking for this part. The original part number is 2A-4020. I found one source but the part is currently out of stock:

http://bayareaamusements.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=MX-02-4020

Has anyone found another source for this part or suitable replacement? Is it threaded to accept a screw or bolt from the top of the return frame or does the machine screw just slide through it?

Thanks very much for any help that you can provide.

For that post support, a small length of brass tubing works great. Just take the screw out, head to the hardware store, find the smallest size tubing the screw will fit through. Trim to length, and smooth the edges. Fits great, works great.

Thank you - I'll do exactly that.

I see that some people have replaced their targets with more modern Williams replacements but the mounting brackets are different. The original bracket features two screws, one in front of the other - while the new bracket features two side-by-side screws. Does anyone know if I have to modify the bracket or can I use these new targets without hacking them?
