reb78 Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 My spare bulkhead is going to be galvanised on Thursday. It's all prepped, but it has some brackets either side of the transmission tunnel that I don't think are needed. They don't appear on my current bulkhead, but can someone else confirm before I chop them off?! You can see them here. In the bottom photo, It's the three tabs on the right and one on the left of the tunnel. I think the one on the left will foul the turbo, but just want to confirm they need to come off so I can chop them off before galvanising!

Bowie69 Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 Look like relay tabs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 That's a 300tdi era bulkhead, mines the same. They don't foul anything on my discovery 200tdi on short bellhousing lt77 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotts90 Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 Same tabs are present on my td5 bulkhead which clear everything on my 200tdi with LT77. The tabs actually hold the td5 wiring looms in place on mine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reb78 Posted May 25, 2016 Author Share Posted May 25, 2016 Thanks. The ones next to the clutch pedal box are probably fine. The one on the other side will knock on the turbo i think on the defender spec 200tdi. I think i will lop them off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mo Murphy Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 Rich, mine is an unmodified TD5 bulkhead with a Defender 200tdi and nothing touches. Is that bigger bracket for the engine bay fusebox ? Mo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mo I don't know Mo. I was comparing them last night though and i cant see it fitting next to the turbo/exhaust/inlet manifold. Could you take a look at yours to see if they are present if you get a moment? Looking at Skauldys thread on galvanising, none of those brackets are there on his.

Scotts90 Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 The td5 doesn't have the ones protruding from the top of the footwell, it has the ones inside the bell housing recess and another, flatter one welded above the drivers footwell to take the td5 expansion bottle. Those extra tabs must be for the 300 as Lewis already said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mo Murphy Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 Sorry Rich, I forgot to put in my post that I don't have that big bracket on the left ! Mo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotts90 Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 This was my td5 one in mid-strip, I initially cut the centre loom hole then welded it back up after deciding to go the td5 loom route. Shows clearly what's there (and what's not) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
