Wood firewall

[Randy1944]

I have just acquired a model T 1923 Speedster. It is not complete. It has a high metal firewall along with a low radiator. I like the look of a lower wood firewall. Would anyone have a drawing showing dimensions? I would like to make one out of plywood but need the dimensions.

Surely, someone out there can help me. I attached a picture showing car. As you can see, it has a low radiator and I want to remove present metal firewall and cowl. I want to install a wood firewall that will allow the hood to be level from radiator to firewall. Drawings or source for a wood firewall sure would be appreciated.

You might check with Lang's Old Car Parts. You will also need to find the wooden firewall brackets - they're not the same as your metal ones.

Thanks. I have ordered a catalog from Langs and Snyders. I appreciate the help and info about the firewall brackets. I see lots of speedsters with wood firewalls on the internet, so someone must supply them.

The low wood firewalls are listed in Langs catalog.

Snyder's has them listed.
