Petesrover Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 I am on the lookout for a reparable series 2 or 3 bulkhead, but if I can't find one I was thinking to posibly fit a new galvanised one from padocks, I do not intend ever selling the L Rover & live by the sea so was going to have a repaired one dipped & risk any buckles, my question is have anyone fitted a galvanised bulkhead from Padocks & do they fit ok? do they look ok? & is the metal as thick & strong as the original ones?

Romahomepete Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 You would get a much better prodfuct from Robert Owen who makes S2 and S3 bulkheads Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petesrover Posted September 29, 2020 Author Share Posted September 29, 2020 Thank you, do you know if he will galvanise them, or would you not bother to galvanise? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now easy to do when bare Yup, ".... do not pass Go, do not collect £200" If you're going to that much pain, to not galvanise is just daft. Do the radiator-panel whilst you're on. You'll get all, or maybe add a little more, than you spend in resale. And I'm afraid, 'keeper' or not, that counts... who knows what the future holds, and one day you might want, or forbid, be forced to cash-in? I tell you now, I wouldn't ever consider buying without a galved b/head and chassis, and I'll pay a decent premium for these.

Romahomepete Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 If you are going to galvanize a bulkhead or front panel make sure the are rigidly fixed to a vesy sturdy supporting frame otherwise they can twist in the process. My bulkhead is 62 years old, has had new pillars and footwells and a tinyholde repaired below the windscreen and the front panel has a new lower section. I think they will see me out without galvanising Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
