Is this assumption correct?

This is what it should look like

If it is...how much coil is showing at the frt.? This will give me a thickness to work on and then make up a tapered spacer to allow for the back.....assuming this is not available from Bristol.

I suggest you contact Bristol first, and see if the parts are available. Given that they are used on many of the V8s, they probably will be. That will save you the trouble of making your own and guessing dimensions.

I also realize there is some sort of rubber spacer at the bottom...if I work on 1/2" for that one, does it sound right?

Did you read this thread that I linked to earlier?
