Correct rails?

I'm looking into getting Ridgeback Pro rails for my Valley Table, 7ft ZD-7 based off the markings inside the table.

When I take off the metal to expose the bolts for the rails, I see 3 bolts. However Ridgeback apparently isn't making these any longer and only is making 5 bolts now?

How does this work? Drilling more holes in the rails?

I really want Ridgeback Pro but not really looking to modify the table to do it, would rather just get Penguin Pro I guess

TIA

Hello. Based off searches on this site, I see you created Ridgeback rails but also sold them to Valley? Has something changed since then for you to suggest the Penguin rails instead or is this simply because I stated I didn't want to modify the table by drilling holes to accommodate the 5 bolt Ridgebacks? If I were to switch the rubbers to 66 instead of the usual 55 they come with, would the Penguins at that point basically be Ridgeback?

Thank you for your input!

Do a 'search' and you'll find out. according to rkc the new one's are shit. https://forums.azbilliards.com/thre...with-superspeed-cushions.559657/#post-7694735 all i know is they play great. so do penguins.
 
I've installed many sets of Ridgebacks and Penguins. Stopped using the Ridgebacks after Kerry sold. I preferred the Ridgebacks back then, but the Penguins have gotten better now. They have 2 different sizes based on the age of the table, ZD-6 and older, and ZD-7 and newer. The bolt pattern is slightly different.
