Project Review - Part 2:
However, some of the numerous floor repairs were a bit harder to blend in than others.
It took me two attempts to work out how to make a "recess" for my dual circuit brake master cylinder.
( This still ranks as one of my favourite bits of metal fabrication work on the whole build.
)
But the real madness came when I started to tackle the sides of the bulkhead!
In addition to fixing all the internal panels, I build external "supports" for both sides of the bulkhead too.
Although there was so much rot to deal with, the overall look ended up like a patchwork quilt in places.
With the "outside" of the bulkhead largely sorted out, I could start repairing sections of the dash support panel.
I also set the bulkhead up for my new micro heater arrangement, starting with making a new heater control panel.
I also made panels to support the heater vents.
Welded them into place and sorted out the fixings required for the heater itself.
The heater control value needed a new mounting bracket too.
End of Part 2...
