Bally pop bumper question
« on: August 28, 2014, 08:39:53 PM »
Hi guys, I'm rebuilding the pop bumpers on Fathom at the moment and the metal Yoke on one of them is damaged. It has a little right angle bend on one end so my question is will a replacement metal Yoke without the bend do the same job or do I need to get hold of an exact replacement? I actually brought these straight ones as a replacement but didn't realize they didn't have the bend. Everything else seems to be the same . Holes line up fine.

As far as I am aware either will work OK. I suppose the one with the bend should be stronger but for HUO I really doubt you will ever have a problem.

Thanks Mike, that's what I was hoping to hear.

The Bally yoke is very much the same as the GTB yoke. You could use one of them if you wanted to, but the standard yoke should be ok.

Excellent, thanks for the confirmation Nino.  ^^^
