Looking for replacement castings and gully pockets for Brunswick Gold Crown 2

8th zone replacement parts are great.
However the adjustable feet are lower then the original by around 15 mm from memory so I simply replace the threaded rod with longer ones.
 
The pocket liners from 8th Zone are the vest on the market. I've used both the drop pockets and gullies. Is your table ball return or drop pocket?
 
will their returns work on a GC1? im assuming the ball return on GC1 vs GC2 are the same? (the wire rail style)

First we have to establish if he has a Gold Crown II. There's a lot of misinformation out there about what a Gold Crown II actually is.

That being said, they are basically the same table except for aesthetics. I ran the drop pockets on my Gold Crown I from 8th Zone (Born Winner brand) until I converted the table to ball return. I'm currently using the gullies from 8th Zone (Born Winner brand). Both are great; heavy duty and do not mark the balls. If your shaft runs across the lip of the pocket, it doesn't transfer and rubber onto your shaft.

The reason I asked is there is some modification that needs to be done for the drop pockets to fit correctly as they are the larger Gold Crown IV style. No one makes a reproduction of the actual Gold Crown I-III drop pockets in the original specs. The options are to trim the pockets so they extend under the frame or trim the frame. I went with trimming the frame.
