Fire Wall
 

Is 30 & 31 the same?

Re: Fire Wall
 

The 1931 had the indented firewall with the gas valve on the engine side of the firewall. Some 1931's (early) still had the 1930 firewall.

Are you building a high point restoration or are you just worried about fit and function? After May '31 the firewall had a recess for the fuel shut off that was relocated to under the hood. During the transition some firewalls were actually stamped a second time to provide a location for the fuel shut off.

No show piece for me, just want to get it close as possible. Gentlemen here on the forum has a 31 fire wall, looks a lot better (hole wise) than mine.
So I am assuming it will ok to use the 31 fire wall?

Re: Fire Wall
 

It depends on which gas tank you have. The shut off valve inside the car
or under the hood.

Good question, will have to look.

If you have extra holes filling them is a lot less work than a remove and replace on the whole firewall. Bob

Bob is right, trying to remove a firewall and welding a new on back in is a lot of work. Unless it comes with a nice cowl that you can just bolt down to the frame.
