And if you milled the new soft jaws in place, even better.
My 6 inch vice has those - when made it had a slot milled in the underside parallel to the jaw housing. The square steel fits into that and is screwed in with two countersunk screws each side of the central slot. Probably was then flipped set against the tee slot and the jaw housing finish milled true. It's very repeatable and saves truing up on the jaws every time you put the vice on. Only drawback is it only fits one way with jaws parallel to tee slots, but that hasn't proved to be a problem - only one of many ways to hold work down.
