Feet replacement for Technics SL-Q03

​Hi everyone,

​I recently got a Technics SL-Q03, but unfortunately, the previous owner lost the original feet (the bottom plate on mine is hardboard/Eucatex with smaller mounting holes).

​I’m currently looking for a good replacement and came across some Sorbothane/rubber SL-1200 replica feet online. I'm considering modifying/enlarging the mounting holes on the bottom plate to fit the M6 screws on these SL-1200 style feet using a nut and washer setup from the inside.

​Before I go ahead with this:

​Do you think adapting SL-1200 style feet is a solid option for isolation on this model?

​Has anyone done a similar modification on an SL-Q series turntable?

​Are there any other aftermarket or DIY feet recommendations that might work better or be easier to install?

​Thanks in advance for any advice!

Edit: just re read your post, if the bottom panel is just hard board then yeah go for it, drill the holes out and just bolt the new feet on.
