Is there a spec for the wood blocks which go between the body and frame? Dimensions, pics, etc?

I have a '28 Tudor which I'm slowly reassembling. I'm test fitting the body. For some reason I haven't yet identified, the wood blocks I took out don't fit snugly between the body and frame; some have as much as 1/4" slop. I suspect that whoever had it apart before me just slapped something in there without making it fit correctly. I'd like to make up new ones with the correct dimensions.

While I'm at it, is there a good source for the leather anti-chafe pads? I have some leftover leather from a previous project, but I bet there's a correct material for those too.

Any pointers appreciated.
