late 31 firewall

[gardon]

I'm trying to salvage a late 31 firewall and found what appears to be reinforcing plates inside where each radiator support mounts. Is this original?

That is correct

Funny you should ask now because just this morning I was looking for a different picture and came across these 2 and wondered if I shouldn't post them to show what the plates look like.

Thanks for the pix. That's what i have.

Just so others don't get confused, these plates were first put into production on the flat firewalls in October 1930
