RB2 Drums red pad sensor problem...need some help

[Mega-Tallica]

Okay, so I made a thread yesterday, but nobody answered so I'll make a new one today and hopefully I get some results. I noticed that my red pad is not responding good anymore to softer hits. You have to really hit it very hard for it to respond at all. So, I opened the pad up and noticed that the little orange piece that keeps the sensor in place snapped in half. So, I taped the sensor down with scotch tape, but that didn't work. There's nothing now keeping the sensor in place. The tape works but you still have to hit the pad very hard for it to register it. I've heard of the aluminum foil method or penny method, but will that work with nothing supporting it. Just need some help. Thanks.

You could try to find a piece of plastic roughly the same size to mount the spring on and drill some holes in so you can mount it like the original.

The penny mod needs the plastic piece to hold it all together.
