Bulkhead box - best position?
Turbo Mini Forums

OK, I've searched the forum and found quite a few photos (some broken links too?) but only one thread that gives measurements.

"help needed/bulkhead box in realation to subby" (I've put the link at the bottom because for some reason, the preview bombs out at this line otherwise so I don't know if the link actually works).....

When I use these measurements (17th post in thread) and mark it out on mine, it seems further to the left (wiper motor) than most and I think this is confirmed by the photo in the thread.

Others seem to go as far to the right (pedal box) as possible and some also put a 45 degree "blend" to the left tower plate.

In my photo, the measurements from the thread are in red, the furthest right I think I can go (without interfering with the pedal box support plate) is in blue and where I think the 45 degree blend should go, in black.

The box, in the photo for reference, is Milamber's latest and suspended above the red lines.

As I want to keep all options open for the future, are my blue/black lines the best, or am I going to cause myself some other problems I haven't thought about...

And the link that gave me the measurements...

Reference the link above.

The blue line is the one to use. You also need the triangular piece - maybe not right upto the inner wing support piece, but getting close to it - again - look at the pics in my link. There is a pic in there to show what happens if you don't put in the extra 'triangular' piece.

yeah i'd go with the blue/black lines. looks pretty much the same as where mine is in my current car and was in my old one too.



some more pics in here too if they're any use.

Agree with blue/black lines. the thread you mention "help needed/bulkhead box in realation to subby" was a thread I started for my minus (grp shell) please dont confuse your self by looking at any pics I have posted of my bulkhead/bay as there are a few differences to a steel shell.
Cheers

Shane, yes, understood - the way I read the thread is that you had asked for someone to get you measurements off a steel shell for you to compare, but I may have mis-read it..
Anyway, I'm now happy with my blue/black lines, so thanks to all of you who have confirmed it. I shall be cutting next week!

I did fella, that was the piont of the post, I just wanted to make sure you wasnt getting confused over the position refering to my pics.

Hi

Have a look at an old post of mine here http://www.turbominis.co.uk/forums/index.php?p=vt&tid=145100 if you want the dimensions of my custom bulkhead box PM me and I'll send them to you.

You can make one yourself if you can use a welder.

It's all fun and games until someone gets hurt... Then it's hilarious!
