Interesting.
The pads on the blocks I removed are pretty cruddy looking. Per above, I thought they were leather. Some of them may be, they certainly shred apart like old dried/rotted leather. But at least one of them is fabric reinforced rubber. I was able to clean off enough of the edge to see the fabric.

. . . but what I've got is quite a bit thinner than that. Less than 1/8". Either because somebody put the wrong stuff on it, or because it's compressed over time.
My best guess is the former. I don't have the complete story on this car, but the claim was it was "restored" in the '60s. Whoever did that job clearly took a bunch of shortcuts, based on other things I've found while going through it. So I don't really trust that what's on there for things like anti-squeak, or even the wood blocks I have, are the right parts.
Thanks for the info.
