Question about pockets on my table

[alstl]

I have a 9' commercial style A E Schmidt with plastic drop pockets. There are two problems with the pockets. First, the holes are not countersunk and the screws are flush with the plastic, which causes the balls to get cuts when the make contact with the screw heads. Secondly, some of the threads are stripped and some pockets are not secured at all because a screw won't go in the hole.

Would the push pins for a valley barbox work in these holes? If not is there a different type of pocket, like a brunswick where the holes in the pockets are countersunk, that will work on this table?

Thanks

pockets

Go to an auto parts store like Napa. They will have a pretty good selection interior moulding and door panel clips. These are pretty much what you are seeing on the Valley tables. You may have to drill out the hole a little bigger and then they just snap into place. Keep a few extras for replacement.

Thanks, I'll try it.

These are the valley buttons -

They pop into a metal casting so they may or may not work in your situation.
You should be able to find something similar at an auto parts store as previously mentioned.
