One of the ramp one-way ball gates is missing and the original part is hard to find.
Missing ramp ball gate: gate 01-9052 fits with a slightly longer wireform
Cause: The original gate is scarce, but a different gate bracket has the same mounting hole pattern, height and wireform hole spacing.
Checks
- Compare the replacement with the original: mounting holes, height, and the distance from the mounting holes to the wireform holes should match.
- Note that on the substitute the raised area is wider and the open and closed mounting holes are on opposite sides.
Fix
- Fit gate bracket 01-9052 in place of the original.
- Because the raised area is wider, the original wire flap barely fits and may fall out; bend a new, slightly longer wireform from spring steel (piano) wire.
