28 roadster frame vs 30 coupe frame
 

From what I've discovered through search and catalogs and what not, it appears they are at least dimensionally the same. Is that correct?

The height of the pads for the radiator is slightly different.

The mechanical brake linkage will be different and the hand brake will be on the left for early '28. If you are doing a restoration the fender braces and running board brackets will be different. What is the whole project?

The handbrake is on the right on early right hand drive cars
