For just adding it to stock as high-end armor and ignoring the 3 kT stuff, do the following:
1) In TechArea.txt, increase the maximum level of Armor to 9.
2) In Components.txt, copy a basic armor component.
3) Change the Tonnage Space Taken of your new component to 1.
4) Change the Tonnage Structure to 6.
5) Change the Tech Level Req for Armor to 7.
6) Change the Family number to something that is not used by anything else.
7) Set the costs and name of this new component to whatever you like. Keep in mind that cost is per component, and you need lots of this component to do anything. You now have level 1 of your new ablative armor.
8) For the other 2 levels, copy your new component, change the Tech Level Req to 8 and 9, change Tonnage Structure to 8 and 10, and change the name and cost as appropriate.
9) For the leaky versions, just copy the three components you just created, remove the armor ability, double the Tonnage Structure, and change the family number to something unique.
You might want to change the description too.
