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.
Ruairidh, did you once mention the use of a material usually employed in the building trade instead of felt between the chassis and body?
It was used by Ed China in the restoration of a Morgan.
