Welcome! I am a fellow Fordor owner and I feel your pain about all that wood.

The cloth tape you are talking about really is pretty much cloth tape and it was what Ford used for anti-squeak. I also found oak in my Murray bodied 1930. Is yours Briggs or Murray? Not sure but maybe they used different wood? I think the prints specify 3 different varieties.

I haven't done any insulating to mine yet but I'd like to. I'll have to follow along and see what people recommend.
