Ok – this is not how I would normally re-make a playfield plastic but I had a broken ramp on the WH20 and the old broken section of ramp normally covered this spot and had an image on it – so I got a little ‘inventive’.
Here’s what the problem spot looked like originally after I had put the ramp protector in place and put a new ‘running rail’ in place to plug the gap.
I took a look at the area and decided I would cut a 2mm sheet of Perspex to fill that spot and then create a copy of the side area of one of the other ramps to match in.
So I simply took a photo of the good ramp image of the Spine Chiller ramp and then make a copy of that image to match the shape I needed.
I made various colour versions so a close match could be selected.
This new plastic was never going to be hit by a ball so I decided that one screw and an old skool post would hold it in place – here is the clear Perspex cut to shape and in place
Here’s the same shot with the printed artwork stuck on it.
All I did in this case was print in high quality onto good photo paper and then place clear contact over the top and glued it on top of the plastic.
As I said I wouldn’t normally re-do a PF plastic like this but in this case it was created simply to conceal a gap and doesn’t have ball contact.
It worked pretty well anyway – see this shot
And here it is with the machine fully re-built

I also want to make 'something ' or some image for this plain left return guide on WH20 - I am considering just scanning the right side sling plastic, flipping it and resizing it and making a 'cover' for this left guide with the same image as on the right...I am sure other WH20 owners would be interested in a simple fix like that ??........watch this space
