Any advice on front wheel height?

Are the tapes on the tracks in the series flush, proud or recessed?

I would tend to believe that on any "taped" tracks, the contact  surface would be slightly proud of the running surface ...........a bit of masking tape on either side of the slot on your set up block should work just fine to replicate this for setting your front end.

Braided tracks are generally recessed, and plastic, can be either, depending on the brand.
