BoxesOfBits Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 Hi all,After reading the trials and tribulations of Toledo Mans workmate with regards to his lining up of bodywork. i examined my bulkhead mounts. O/s and N/s are both completely different heights away from the body.The N/s is only 30mm. Is there anyone out there with an original bulkhead that could measure it and give me an indication of which is right (if either) and what the height should be? This should make things a little more straightforward?Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heraldcoupe Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 Hi Paul,I have a few original bulkheads here, however they're not as accessible as I would like for taking measurements. I'm pretty tied up for the next few days, but if no-one can give you a definitive answer in the meantime, I will be happy to check dimesnions early next week,Cheers,Bill.

Smallfry Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 I am not sure what the actual measurements are, but the four on the bulkhead and front floor are shorter (less high) than the ones on the rear body.This is from memory(appalling) best bet is to get one of the suppliers to measure their stock for you ?

heraldcoupe Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 Don't do that, the body mounts from some suppliers are taller than others..... An original bulkhead will at least be the way it was done at the factory.Cheers,Bill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smallfry Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 Ahhhh, so suppliers are selling sub standard goods then ? I guess this is why front wings dont fit, rear wings dont fit and chassis sections dont fit either ?I wonder which suppliers they are ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heraldcoupe Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 Front wings for 13/60 are OK, 1200 are dreadful. Rear wings in general WILL fit, it's usually the car that's sagged. There are no end of different sources for chassis outriggers, quality from exemplary to abysmal...... if you want to get everything form one manufacturer then forget it.We use different suppliers for different parts, except for 1200 front wings where we simply don't bother, it's easier to modify a 13/60 wing! Don't get me started on boot floors...... NOT WITH A BARGEPOLE!Cheers,Bill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
