I don't know of anyone on here that has the rear bulkhead rmoved, it is a structural part of the car, and most if not all racing regs require it present. On 26th Oct, 2004 TurboDave16v said:
Is it A-Series only? I think it should be... So when some joey comes on here about how his 16v turbo vauxhall is great compared to ours, he can be given the 'bird'... On 26th Oct, 2004 Tom Fenton said:

the shell has been suitably strengthened and is probably stronger now than it was originally , im going to put a bulkhead of aluminium back in the car , but was just looking on here to see what others had done with the fuel tank , after some ideas

Have a look at this build. He's had an ally bulkhead made the same as the original. I think everyone on here than runs a different tank from standard, has it mounted on the boot floor.

I'll assume the car features a full weld in rollcage so.

I made an ally bulkhead to keep the Avon scuitineers happy, but only removed it because I had a full cage

Just to bring this up, I've been on this topic as mine has been removed so to make an easier job putting in the full weld in cage, and I want to put a new bulkhead back in.

I'd put a steel brace across the top and across the arches. Them rivet on a large piece of alloy; nicely sealed to seperate the boot area. Fastest 998 mini in the world? 13.05 1/4 mile 106mph

the design shows a distinct lack of imagination, talk about starting off with a clean sheet of paper, then not bothering to fucking draw on it,lol On 20th Apr, 2012 Paul S said:
I'm mainly concerned about swirl in the runners caused by the tangential entry. |

Cheers for the ideas! Will be a bit fiddly going around the cage but not impossible, do you guys just bond to the inside of the rear quarters to make it sealed? www.topcatcustom.co.uk |
