Question,
is it true that a 30-31 fuel tank will fit all models such as coupes and roadsters? What about firewalls?

As an FYI: The late 31 tanks used with the indented firewall are different than the 30-early 31 tanks. The steering column bracket was removed and there is a different bracket riveted to the tank where the fuel comes out due to the gas shut off valve being moved to the engine side of the firewall. They won't interchange.

That being said, I have 2 early firewalls, one is a Briggs and one early tank. My plan was to use the tank for a roadster of the same year.
thanks,

Also don't forget about round and oval speedometers.
If you are doing a Deluxe Roadster you need a round speedometer.

The later 30 (newer styling) and 31 trucks should also have the round speedo
