I don't know if Orion foot screw size changed or Leveling feet bracket hole size could have changed. But we bought an Orion Skyquest Intelliscope 10 inch Dob and the leveling kit. The original screw for the feet does not fit through the Leveling Foot bracket as stated in the main posting. We wanted to keep the original feet, but it looks like that might not be an option now. Still trying to think of ideas.

I have a triangular Orion base so I just removed the little feet and replaced them with the brackets underneath. This required the purchase of 3 #12 1.25” screws to accommodate the extra length needed for re-attaching the original feet and sinking into the base far enough to feel secure.
