Scottie - I figured it would be easier to do this work while the bulkhead is still "free".
Plus I want to know what are the last few "factory" holes I don't need so I can weld them up.
Mister Towed - I knew you had fitted some sort of bleed value, so I've got two of these...
Looks like your one is a better design.
Does my proposed location of the heater pipes in relation to bulkhead connection look OK to you?

After a family pub lunch earlier, I managed to get a bit of time outside on the car.
Micro Heater Dent...
Top Tip - If you are going to mock up your brand new micro heater, tape it to the bulkhead.
That way it wont drop on the ground and get a dent!
More Mock Up Work
I want to fit this battery kill switch somewhere...
There is an obvious hole in the left hand dash panel where the cigarette lighter used to be.
I have previously mentioned what a mess the metal work is behind this panel.
But on first glance, the switch is a good fit.
Obviously I would need to do some repair work before I could bolt it in place.
My initial thoughts are to secure the switch to the metal work (once repaired).
Then take a bit off the back of the dash panel so it sits flush over the fixings.
I'd previously bough some half inch box section to brace the dash to the bulkhead.
Here it is next to a section of 25mm box that I've been using for all my other work.
Not only was is cold outside, it felt like it was going to rain.
So I picked a quick job that was easy to pack up in a hurry.
I cut three panels from my recycling pile for the vent mounting & dash repairs.
But when I started to clean then up, two had repair panels under the filler.
Once they were removed I could finish the initial cleaning before calling it a day as the rain started.
Until next time, take care, Paul.
