steve b Posted October 1, 2022 Share Posted October 1, 2022 I heard Landys over near Woodbridge have used Maer for galv'd chassis' and possibly BH too. Might be worth dropping in for a chat about their experiences? Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arjan Posted October 1, 2022 Share Posted October 1, 2022 I have just fitted one of the MAer Bulkheads to an original LR chassis. Fitted without problems. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arjan Posted October 1, 2022 Share Posted October 1, 2022 Stephen, I'm sorry but the last build thread I started generated so much unpleasant responses here from people who know everything about anything (in another country) that I asked for the tread to be pulled. Very disappointed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very disappointed. Oh !!!! I'm very sorry to hear that Unfortunately that is sometimes the nature of humans I guess if I'd had a lot of negative responses to build threads I wouldn't be posting either, in fact I would move forums or just not bother full stop. There is a lesson to be learnt here.......... I would love you to give posting a build thread another go sometime. I would certainly support it, there is so much learning and knowledge shared in build threads........ Oh well here's hoping.

steve b Posted October 1, 2022 Share Posted October 1, 2022 Arjan - I, for one would be very interested in how the rest of the assembly and fit quality around the new BH goes. It's such a fundamental part of the build after all and all real world reports on a technical forum such as this are worth more than any amount of star ratings on the interwebs.

How much is a Maer bulkhead? I tried to look on their site but it's saying £1,499 including vat but delivery extra. The confusing bit is that it says stainless steel but goes on to say grade s355.

It is not SS like you are thinking, its something in the translation. It looks like they are hot zinc sprayed, and not hot dipped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like they are hot zinc sprayed, and not hot dipped. I thought it was wrong saying stainless, though I presumed they were dipped. I am not sure about zinc spraying. I think anything sprayed is "line of sight" application, where dipping gets inside twin skinned sections, in particular the spotwelded seams as they hold water and notorious rust spots. I have a spare bulkhead that I am going to repair and get dipped (eventually - don't go holding your breath though!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arjan Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 Maer is offering both : - mild steel that is dipped (galvanized) - Stainless steel (Kno nothing about that) Contact the importer in your country for details / prices etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
