    I am putting a 28 brookville roadster body on a 30 frame. Are there mount hole issues?

    I believe the body mounts are the same, the radiator mounting pad is slightly different.

    Spot on - the radiator mounting pad on the 1930 is about 1/4'' lower than the 1928 but the rest of the frame and body mount holes are the same.

    If you are not running a hood / bonnet then that won't make any difference at all but if you are you just need to use a hood then you just need put a larger spacer under your radiator feet and then your hood will line up.

    Much easier to put a 1928 body on a 1930 frame than the other was around

    PS I have a 1930 body on a 1928 frame - pic in my avitar
