first project, first post, so "hi". Wealth of info in here, thanks to all.

My Aztec's upkicker ass'y (i guess that's what it's called) is a bit of a mess.

Would someone please post a pic of one in proper shape so I can see which direction to go? Thanks a bunch in advance!

First weird looking thing is the bracket is bent away from the playfield (with the help of a washer). I don't know if this is right or someone's "creative" solution. Second, there's a lot of play between the bracket and the retaining clip at the top. This results in the kicker sweeping a random arc instead of contacting the ball squarely. Takes it many tries to get the ball up to the launcher.

For posterity: I replaced the kicker pivoting arm and it tightened it right up. The tricky part was that the pin had mushroomed and i had to file a bit to get the old arm off. Bolted it back on and she's 100% now. Cheers
