I have no foam rib material left over for the emp tip fairings.  Is there a something available locally that will work as the backing for glassing in the backside of the tips?

I just went to a Hobby or Craft store locally.  They usually have plenty 

of foam choices in various thicknesses.

I got some 2 inch thick x 24 inch square foam from a local fabric shop and cut the outline of the tip ribs using a bandsaw.  Then used the bandsaw to slice it in two so the foam was 1 inch thick (see picture at http://132.239.155.44/rv7a/tipfoam.jpg ).  Worked well, particularly for the compound curve that is required on the HS tips.  Glassed one layer of cloth over the foam, with a 1/8 inch flexible piece of wood wedged between the fairing and the elevator to keep a gap between them.  Then removed the foam, added addition layers of cloth, and then used microballoon mixture to fill in the uneven areas on the fairing.  Came out pretty well.
