Can I use a 1922 touring wood kit for 1925?
How much would transfer 1926 top irons t0 1925 touring?
Thanks, larry
 
'22 is a low cowl body - '25 is a high cowl body. '26 - '27 top irons have a slight curve at the body attachment point - '23 - '25 are straight - might not fit correctly.
 
By 1925, if your body is actually a 25, there a lot of wood in the cowl area was replaced by pressed steel bracket and braces including the hinge post. The rear would have used the pressed steel hinge pillars and the fender/top supports. Without looking at the body book the 22 might have used those rear hinge pillars and fender/top too. If your body has all those braces, brackets and pillars, good chance the 1922 wood kit could be made to work with a few modifications. The difference might be in the tack rail. Yours might need the wider one.
