I would replace the original c/b execution with a half round or half oval 
metal.
String rendering will be greatly improved as the broad expanse of felt 
causes drag/friction.

I did it on a Baldwin R a few years ago with favorable results.  S$S has 
the same iteration.
Last year on an M, I made a mahogany half round to fit the curvature and 
covered it with
bushing cloth. Felt underneath the rear edge gave the impression of the 
traditional c/b. jpg attached

Next time, I'll just place a metal half oval with felt fore and aft of it 
to suppress noise.
