The diamonds over the screws of the rails are mostly broken or look hideous after so many decades. So I found covers for screws in the sanitary area, which I only had to reduce a little at the edge. I left a small edge at the top so that the cover doesn’t fall into the hole for the screw. I’ve used this trick on many of Irving Kaye’s tables and it always looks good.
This is what it looks like with the rails of a professional table. The nose is just above the center of the ball.
Here is a photo of the original rails with the dimensions. The original rails are with 1 1/2 “too high anyway. That is bad and only allows mediocre play. With balls for pool, the nose of the rubber must be just above the center of the ball. 1 1/3” is ideal here. If the nose is too deep the ball will bounce and if it is too high it will slow the ball down.
Hi, Stephen
The nuts are available in the most common sizes in tool shops. Is a typical industrial mass product. Or look on the internet in the bay.
