Replacing all the rubbers on BOP but the 2-1/2" one in the pic was broken so not sure how it went originally.
Is is supposed to be how the pic shows now, they way I did it, or is it supposed to go around the post next to it following
the path I marked with red?
Thanks.

I think the way it is in the picture is correct. If it went where the red line is it could interfere with the switch. Anyway, youre good to go if the switches can close, the kicker works, and the ball doesn't get stuck.

Thanks Kurt.
I felt I had it on correctly but was questioning why that other post was even there. There is no rubber ring on it so I guess it is there to just fill the space?
-
I had to replace 4 broke/missing red posts on the upper playfield.
Manual shows one less post that what is on my plastic playfield in upper right.
Are there to be (2) 3/4" rubbers there?
I have one of them on now vertically.

I'll take pictures of mine tonight after work and post them for reference.

Here's mine:

Wow. Look like I need to move the red post I "X" in blue down to the green circle. Then use a larger rubber ring to extend up to it with the orange arrow and I'll be good other than I need an upper left post rubber. and a small ring to the left of the green circle like your pic.
Sound about right?
I could have swore the green circle was where the mounting screw went for the mini playfield so I guess it's where the blue X is now?

There are many people on here with vastly more experience and skill than I. I just like pinball & arcades and try to maintain what I have. In other words, I'm no expert. My Bride pin came from AtariJim and I have changed very little of it. Recently I had to replace the very post you're talking about because the top broke off. I saw the mounting hole your talking about but that location was not used as a fastener. The mini playfield is held by the other screws and it just sits on top of the post.
-
Oh yeah, while I was replacing that post and had the mini playfield out, I noticed my bumper was like a bobble head. The cup inside was broken and I replaced it with one from Marco. The first picture below has the rubber you first asked about in this post. I meant to add it yesterday. It looks to me like your pin has a post that mine does not...

Found some pics online and got it all correct (as far as I can determine).
Here's a pic of mini playfield back in the game, screwed down on two posts.
I do need to add one more screw in the lower right corner.
-
Looks good
-
And after all that work, and replacing about 6-7 of the mini red posts, the upper right one tip broke off so it looks like I'll need to pull plastic playfield again to get to the underside screw. But at least that rubber isn't impeding play right now.

BoP has the most violent Pop Bumpers in the history of pinball, if you asked me. When they are dialed in and rocking, the whole game shakes!

Yep, and I would say Star Trek Pro gets a little wild up there at times too. So does Dialed In.
