Can someone post a drawing of this wood block or tell me where I can get the dimensions?
Thanks in advance.

Mark Grber:

You don't need any special dimensions, all you need is to make sure that the wood block is slightly wider than the frame so that the bracket rest against the wood and NOT the frame. Be sure to also leave enough room to clear the two bottom bolts and round off the inside top edge like Dan Treace's sketch. I find that many of the original blocks rest on the bottom of the frame and has a slit to clear the two bottom bolts.

Thanks Dave...the 1 1/2" dimension worked good.
Fits snug.

Make sure that you use good solid hardwood or else it will slowly collapse over time.
I like to make a steel sleeve to go inside the wood, over the bolt, to prevent the wood from collapsing.
