Swifty & Scottie - Thanks chaps.
I try to accept that some days will not be as productive as others.

Very little to report...
The long Easter weekend has been a bit of a "social whirl", with very little time to work on the car.
But I did inch along toward the end of the bulkhead repair work this afternoon.
I started by drilling the holes required in my crush tube fixing plate set up.
This allowed me to check how the tubes aligned with the holes in the bulkhead itself.
Not very clear in the photo, but you can see through the retaining nuts in the chassis to the ground below.
Then I opened up the holes in the bottom & top edges of the bulkhead to accommodate the tubes.
I could get a good fit at the bottom edge, which will make it easier to weld the plate in place.
Also the crush tubes came through the bulkhead with no problems.
Unfortunately the top edge is a bit of a mess, that will require even more work to fix.
I will need to cut / shape the areas around the tubes so the washers for the bolts can sit flush.
However, I want to double check the bulkhead fits nicely on the chassis before I do anything further.
As the last thing I want to do is weld this into place and find I haven't measured properly for some reason.
Hope everyone else had a more productive Bank Holiday weekend, cheers, Paul.
