My 28 Phaeton and 29 Tudor has a wood block with a fabric reinforced rubber pad nailed to the bottom of the wood block. To this you can add more rubber pads for shimming if needed.

The 28-29 bodies have a wooden block attached to the body, with a rubber pad under that. The 30-31 bodies do not have the wooden block, and just the rubber pad.

Thanks for that. I was unaware of that change.
