The spacers on the ends of the chassis cross-members and either side of the gearbox were made from hard fibre board Andrew.
I have made them of wood in the past - a variety of thicknesses so that I can alter the heights to suit.
The top of the chassis backwards from the steering column and up over the rear extensions should have felt webbing (three separate pieces either side) - these held moisture originally causing rot and I have successfully overcome this by soaking the lengths in Waxoyl before using (bifurcated) rivets to secure it in place.
