Is there a source for the body to frame mounting blocks for the 30-U? If not, what are you using?
I can't help you I have a 29u. The 30u had an all steel body. The 29 is wood framed with steel skins. I'm sure someone will chime in.

Any luck finding a solution. If these blocks are rubber they can be revulcanized.
No luck so far but I did order a thick, flat piece of dense rubber that I will try to shape into pads. What I have is barely enough for patterns but I think I know where they need to be. Since my car has an all steel body I am assuming the pads are not as critical for shimming the body as they are on a wooden frame body. I guess I will find out soon enough.
Do you have a picture of the blocks and what model of 30 are you working on?
They are not blocks but rubber pads. I only have one that I will try to attach a picture of and I do not know how many were used or exactly where they were located on the frame. My car is an early 30-U rumble seat coupe.
I think there are 4 pads on each side, attached are photos from June 1930 coupes, I have wood rails and pads. the bottoms of the wood rails are shown and show the "shadows" of 4 pads on each side. the frame shows the hole the detail is for, the detail shows the bolt, nut, a rectangular steel washer, the frame, the pad, the wood rail and the body at the top. Hope this helps.
Thanks, that's what I needed!
