1919 firewall

[Gary Gregory]

Should my very early hand crank 1919 Touring have a wooden firewall or metal ? Mine has a metal but I'm thinkin it should be wood ? Just getting started and havn't gotten much info on the T's yet.

The metal firewall was engineered and first used intermittently from February 1923 and then by April 7, 1923 factory letter states all assembly lines were using the metal firewall.

Wood would be correct. The low metal fire wall was used as a replacement after 1923.
