I'm currently in contact with Owens-Corning, the original manufacturer 
of the "pads" in the bottom of (at least the early) 28s. So far - they 
have shuffled me to several different people whom were "supposed" to 
recommend a current product equivalent to the 1" fiberglass originally 
supplied.  I'll let everyone know when (*IF*) I get an answer... (been a 
couple of months already).

The original pads supplied in the 28KSR was:

Pad, silencing: fibre glass; appox. 14"lg X 11" h X 1" thick.  TTY P/N 
151533   Owens-Corning P/N PF-316-1 lb density.

I've just sent a "reminder - follow-up" email to Owens - hopefully it'll 
get some response.

best regards...
