What spring, I haven't put it on the wrong way......I haven't f**king well put it on.....Man am I a dickhead.
Thanks very much Marty and Nino for being very patient. Put the spring on and the rod aligns correctly, the screws align correctly and then proceeded to have a leisurely 400K game on the mutha. The flippers work better than I can ever remember. Thanks heaps again.
BTW I forgot the spring on the other flipper but it must have been more forgiving as it worked great. Mind you I did install the spring on that one as well
