I'm giving this a makeover since I had to replace the belts. Apparently they don't make the front bearing "blocks" that the Delrin ring runs on. Is the kit with just two felt strips (FSP 279264) the standard replacement? Is this a "redesign", so to speak? It seems to be working fine. Just curious when doing the research. Thanks for all the help!

Hi, yes the felt bearing blocks replace the original porcelain shoes and should work fine, I generally do not replace these parts unless they are pretty worn.
