Its a little warmer now the snow has gone so garage time has increased! Next task was to sort out how the bulkhead and scuttle all fitted together. I wanted the scuttle to be quickly removable so that I could access where the bulk of the electrics and electronics would be located.

I battled for a long while with G clamps and tape measure until I was (almost) happy with the fit. The scuttle is not a perfect fit being too wide at the back but its acceptable. I the drilled some pilot holes for the  scuttle and then drilled them out to take M6 bolts. I made up spacers to go in the top chassis rail to prevent crushing the tube. Once this was done I assembled everything and drilled out alternate holes to take M6 screws through into the scuttle. The scuttle was then drilled out to take rivnuts. With this all bolted down I drilled all the 3.2mm holes for the rivets. And finally with a small bead of Sikaflex rivetted the bulkhead onto the chassis. I am really pleased with this now its done. It fits well and is very rigid.

Having looked at everybody else's builds I have stolen a common thread and made a additional bulkhead to support the relays etc.

I am going to complete the two covers for the transmission tunnel next.
