For Sale: Late 1923 metal firewall
I have a late 1923 metal firewall that is surplus to my needs. This was used on the very last 23's that used the low styled radiator and hood. It was only used a few months before Ford went to the 1924 models that used the high radiator in August of 1923. $85.00 plus shipping for this scarce part.

FWIW they were also sole as replacement fire walls for wood. An excellent up grade.

Re: For Sale: Late 1923 metal firewall
You are correct John, but four spacers were neccessary to space the firewall back if you used the earlier firewall brackets. The spacers that were used were the small caps that go over the radiator shell just under the radiator mounting castle nuts on the 1919 to 1927 radiators. Of course the old body and steering column bolts would then be too long but I guess better longer than shorter.
