Front Rest Feet on Concrete

Just got my first front rest, a Cowan. Most of my shooting is on concrete benches. I have the F class feet from Joe also, but I think maybe those will damage the concrete. I can just remove them, or maybe I should keep them on but cut a piece of wood for the rest to sit on, or something else. May I have suggestions please?
 
I found everything at Lowes to make my own super feet. 3 large and 3 small flat washers, 3 large rubber washers, and glue them all together. Contact cement for the rubber and a little epoxy for small steel washers. They stick to to bench pretty good but on really smooth concrete I'll wet the bench down with a damp cloth then setup my rest.
 
Berchrite stablifeet is a 2” and 3” washer with rubber on it. I use them for my Sinclair benchrest under my f class feet. The product is under the category of front rest. The price is $22.99 and $27.99. I would have posted the link, my computer skills just suck.

you asked about the thread pitch. there is none. you just put the foot points into the holes.
 
Hopefully the standard feet will fit my base
 
We also shoot on concrete benches. The points on the feet don't hurt anything. Some guys use a metal plate under the feet with little holes that the points set in. Claim the xtra weight helps.

It depends on your rest screws. The first 1s I made were 3/16, when I got a Farley rest I had to make new 1s with a 3/32 hole due to the smaller diameter of the spike on the rest screws. Hope this helps.
