Put me down for one. 

I've posted another pic of my Tron stick, top & bottom.  The top restrictor is REALLY HARD.  When brand new, was this restrictor that hard or did it have more give?  Right now hitting diagonals in the MCP cone level and spiders level is difficult (although right angles in light cycle phase are easy).  Any chance of getting top restrictor replacements?

I do not know. never thought about it.
lets see how this one goes first. ( the bottom )
It might be to thick. I have to track down some longer bolts.
I marked the base of xenophobe and the new clear restrict or. lined up the cross, and marked the holes. the keeper locking ring did fit. Tight fit.
I have to still drill it. find a set of longer bolts. hack a playstation or side winder,
build a temp stand and try it out. I hope to get most of this done this 3 day weekend. Wife has other plans.
format her Dads hard drive and set him all back up again  :(
get the spare bed out of the arcade room.
get the 3 arcades off the porch
Honey Do List.  :P

 Hey coasternuts & markrvp,
 
   Thanks bunches for the pics.  Clears up a lot.   The manual was a poor scan, so couldnt what was going on.

  Just a side note for anyone taking parts pics... if you take a pic of a part with a ruler in it - make sure the ruler is lined up and 'on top' of the object rather than beside it. 
As you can see from the pics - that perspective throws you off - so its hard to tell exactly how thick the restrictor is.     

 Thanks again tho : )

  It seems I was worried Id have to try to mount the bracket at an angle... but that would really suck.   Now that I see that only the restrictor needs changing,  it really makes it an easier solution.

 Im pretty sure that my tron top restrictor is doing all the restriction right now.   Im not sure if that is because the botton has worn out a bit of not. If might be because the bottom only gets used if the rubber top is compressed really hard.   But maybe its just all worn and out of whack.   Havnt tested it yet either.

 Not sure how flexible the top is supposed to be... but i do know that typically its supposed to be a little hard to hit diags.  Too much flex would wear fast and make it too easy to mess up in 4way mode.   

 If you are having some troubles - check and adjust the leafs too.  Sometimes that can be an issue as well... as they need good cleaning and also get bent outwards after a while.

 Hope a repo is in order.

 Thanks : )
