Bumpers and felt for a Brunswick Anniversary table?

My table needs new felt and rubber. What should I get for my Brunswick anniversary super 8. I love the table and play every day. I want the best and most appropriate options.
 
The cloth is easy, get Simonis. Either 760, 860HR, or 860. All 3 are excellent, and listed in order from fastest to slowest.

I'm not a mechanic...
It uses Brunswick SuperSpeed cushions. Unfortunately, the cushions changed in shape slightly sometime in the 1970's. To make it 100%, the wood rail that the cushion glues to needs to be cut slightly to accommodate the new shape. There are a few mechanics in the country that do this work, and a couple of them post here.

If your cushions still play good and are the original Monarch SuperSpeed, I wouldn't touch them.
 
Is there anyway I can crawl under the table and tell if I have original cushions or not? Also does anyone ever sell those OG Monarch super speed cushions in the box. like dead stock? Sorry if thats a dumb question.

Cushions are covered by cloth. You can't get Monarch's anymore, since probably '80ish. I wouldn't buy NOS, the rubber might be bad and you wouldn't really know til installed. Call Ken and ask his opinion. He does a lot of work on old B'wicks. Modern rubber will play a lil different, if that's not doable then a subrail mod will be needed.

Get ahold of Mark Gregory he’s the guy for anything Anniversary or Centennial related, you can’t put modern cushions on the anniversary rails and expect it to play right.
