IIa bulkheads in pristine condition are rare. £660 is perhaps a little
excessive, but I'd be quite prepared to pay up to £600 for a galv IIa
bulkhead if I needed one. Bearing in mind a new IIa bulkhead
(ungalvanised) costs around £600 anyway.

That said I wouldn't, as I'd buy a rotten one, repair it and have it
galved, save myself the money. Not a option open to everyone. And if
you pay someone to rebuild a knackered bulkhead you aren't going to
get much change out of the cost of a new one anyway

Alex, I've got a galved S2a bulkhead for sale ... you have to buy the
rest of the Landie too though. As a bonus it comes with the chassis,
front panel, rear cross member and rear floor cross members all galved too.

news to me, who makes new 2a bulkheads? I thought they were unobtainable
now, genuine 2a, two wiper motor bulkheads with the metal dash pockets. I've
seen military 2a airportable remakes but not standard ones. Interesting

I am tempted down this line. Need to hone my mig skills for a while first. I
weld ok but not at all tidily.

Thanks for running on this thread.

I'm looking for a new IIa bulkhead (would love to try and repair the
current one but unrealistic time/welding skill wise). If there are
pristine ones available I would certainly consider buying one...
