dont understand issue re canvas or rubber on hatch pieces.. The hatch wood was pretty good, if not used as is, it is excellent for reproducing. ... hatch pads were either rubber or wood not both...and rubber eventually discontinued due to shortages

Your wood substrates were covered by a thin pad of horsehair, with a canvas folded over and tacked into the back. I would use .5 inch foam at most with the canvas pulled tightly to compress it substantially. the pads were not really soft at all. The padding did not extend into the angled ends as this would create thickness preventing proper mating of the two 45 degree ends of the pieces

The canvas was notched on the ends such that when folded on the back there was little overlap which would have created additional thickness and improper fit to the metal. I thought you got one of the original canvas covers with the hatch?

for running issues...did you check there is no air leak between carb base and manifold?
