Adjustible Genoa Leads, Track & Teflon

Our Bristol 32 has 1" T-track. Schaefer advises that that is too small for adjustible genoa lead gear, particularly with rail mounted curve, and size of boat and
genoa =37'' luff and 20'' LP.

Schaefer also advises that changing the track to 1.25" is a big job, and original 4" oc bolt holes may not line up properly.

Does anyone have experience with changing tracks? Adjustible genoa lead gear?

I thought about this awhile and found out I could get 1/32" teflon sheet and glue it to the underside of the 1" track. I don''t think it would stay glued however.

What about using teflon spray (sold in Marine stores). Is that commonly used?
Would teflon spray help enough so that I would be able to use new adjustible genoa lead gear on our current 1" track effectively?

Thanks
