Any chance of a few photos of your snorkel plumbing? Very jealous of the vent panel. Top quality work.

Thank you, few photos of my snorkel set up I must stress that the figment is something I'm going to look at in the future as it's a bit hashy  regards Stephen

First off if possible could mods change this title to vent panel and bulkhead build please thank-you

So some of you have been here before for those that haven't and are interested,  read back

Have decided to build an aluminium bulkhead for Sid the Roach, at the moment I might still go with original bulkhead to get me by hence this is not in the mog axle thread

First off some 16mm plate

marked out

Cutting pieces out, I love this saw and it leaves a nice clean edge

if you haven't already guessed, yes I'm making another set of dies to press the bulkhead hinge panel, well that's the plan fingers crossed regards Stephen

I'm disappointed - I thought you were going to start fabricating a bulkhead out of that plate. <_<

I seem to disappoint you a lot of late.......lol

GEARBOX

ta very much regards Stephen

I think we're mutually disappointing each other in that respect. I assume you mean transfer box or are you now after some gurt gearbox from a tractor?

I will chase up Bob tomorrow - I think realistically it's going to involve someone kicking him up the **** in the yard and trying to find it. I did have a look when I first mentioned it but I gave up after the first two containers which a cursory look through revealed a load of ZF automatics and about 20 GM V8 diesels.

Actually there's a load of treasure in Bob's yard that he could probably part with and would be of use to you... Considering he had 3 duplicate yards around Surrey he had a plethora of huge tools that all got duplicated when he sold off two of the yards. One that comes to mind was a 2" AF King Dick spanner. He has no idea what it was for but he had 4 of them...
