Why not get a new galvanized bulkhead from France ?
There is an importer for both galvanized chassis (MAER in stock) and bulkheads (DDS and Richards).
I think they have one in stock and transport / duties would be less perhaps..
Give Richard a shout on "message@4x4chassisetpieces.fr"
You never know - perhaps that would work for you.
My OneTen was eventually fitted with a "plastic" tank for the Td5. Fits OK, you need to make a small mod. but no real issues.
We also fitted a Series filler with the "extension" for easier filling with jerrycans.
These days there are sensors for everything, so I wouldn't be surprised if there is a sensor that kills off movement when it thinks there is too much oil...

As long as the owners weren't there, usu. very good flights
