[pianotech] damper tray support

Hello all,
Just wondering if anyone has ever built damper tray support blocks with anything other than wood?
Possibly something with a small bearing in it?

Every back action job so far gets modified so that the tray pivots on the same plane as the lift lever center pin. 
The Renner kit requires the addition of something more than is supplied in the kit to make this happen.
In this case in the treble I do not have the space and may need to relieve some material from the treble dam.

The attached photo of the old tray kind of tells the story (the old leaf spring is history) - I need about an additional 8mm to make the new assembly work. So I thought possibly a metal L bracket with bearing or end rod with swivel bearing or ???

Thanks for any ideas.
Gene
