Bulkhead Repair Panels

pos · Aug 11, 2010

Hello,

I could do with welding a couple of bulkhead repair panels into the corners of my bulkhead but I would like a bit of advice before hand, preferably with pictures if any one has any. I know I need to cut away the outer 'skin' as so to speak but I'm not sure how far to cut in etc. Any photos of the job out there?

Cheers

I had mine done by a mate who does a lot of landy work. He said it was straightforward but i didn't trust myself to do it. From what i remember it's just the front skin you take off as thats all the repair panels cover. I bought my top corners from YRM metal solutions and despite it being middle of the lro show they were more than helpful, talking through any queries and i had them 2 days later. Once i got it back, i applied red oxide primer and a tiny smear of filler to hide the welds and it looked as good as new.
I will try and find the pics but i think they were deleted.

Both corners were quite crunchy despite there only being a couple of pinholes in the paint when I bought it! ended up a fairly involved job...

That sounds good. I'm going to assess the overall condition of my bulkhead tomorrow all being well, so I'll let you know. If it's worse than I think, I'll go down that route, if it's nothing major I'll just splice a piece of metal in.

Thanks
