Hole protectors

[faza]

I will soon be fitting a new TAF repro playfield  whats the general consensus for home use should i be fitting cliffys and mylar around the bumpers or is this going overboard.

I am 100% in favour of fitting the Cliffys - did so on my AFM and FH with new playfields. They'll wear just like the old one did if not eventually. In home use might take longer, however all you need is a ball drop on the edge to create a little splintering and you have the start of wear.

As for mylar, not as important, up to you. I did not on the AFM and FH, but did on BBB (which was a new field, but too risky on that particular title).

Competely personal decision. There's no "right or wrong"

I would fit a cliffy and mylar around the pops.

I would STRONGLY suggest protecting the playfield magnets with a $5 fuseblock.

See page 6 of my restore ;

When I'm restoring a pin, I always remove the old factory mylar, and replace with new mylar in the same areas as factory. Sure you will not be abusing the pf as much as a sited pin was and you will be cleaning and waxing more often, but the factory did put it there for a reason
Hole protectors are up to personal taste. If I was using then I would use the ones that don't protude onto the top of the playfield, they look better for a new pf,

 if you have to cover existing wear then cliffys would be the way to go.
