Clear plastics

Ball was catching on the clear plastic square over hobbiton shire hole, as it came down the LH wire return ramp. Took plastic off for now as others wanted to play pinball!
*Sunday 28 Mar 2010* Added two 6/32 nuts to the tops of the metal posts, between posts and plastic. Note these are not locknuts, but slim normal ones.  Possibly the plastic is taking ball hits on the top. Or the hex posts are not mounted correctly from factory, one looks askew.

Installed Pinbits "9 piece LOTR protector set" Very nice and was easy to do - even without instructions.  Finally have protection top and bottom of Arwen plastic and for the two VUKs.  Needed this from the beginning.
*Sunday 28 Mar 2010* Took pinbits plastic off from behind the Balrog.  Was longer than existing, and the fork shaped end was fouling the "Balrog closed" switch.  Didn't do this when first installed.
Can't see the advantage of having it there.  I have spare plastics, except for Arwen.  Plan to will deal with both of the clear plastic issues (item 12) later when adding the AOME figures.
