A system for supporting a foundation mounting part connected to a tower of a wind turbine extending upward from a foundation and coupled to the foundation by the foundation mounting part is described. The system includes a first support block and a second support block. The first support block is positioned adjacent a first portion of the foundation mounting part. The second support block is slidably coupled to the first support block and at least a portion of the second support block is positioned between the first support block and the second support block. The second support block is configured to exert force on the first support block when displaced laterally with respect to a first axis coincident with a longitudinal axis of the tower.
