urgent bulk head fix

hi all

is there any one in the hertfordshire area who could help me out with a bulk head problem, ie welding or any other method, the peddle box is flexing on the inner skin the out side ie the engine bay is fine..........pete

Hi Pete,
Pete here.
This might help. http://www.fronteraowners.co.uk/forums/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=19010&hilit=bulkhead

Depending on the location of the split it can sometimes be bolted together as an alternative to welding.

From memory I think the right hand side may not be boltable with ease, top left certainly is cause thats where mine split. Not anywhere near the truck till monday so cant check but if it is the pedals will deffo have to come out to enable easier access.

Its hard to explain but the bulkhead is flat and the panel that the pedals bolt to is a sort of wide U shape spot welded to the bulkhead. It is possible to drill through and carefully hold a nut at the rear with one finger while pushing the bolt through. Will be obvious when you look at it/remove the pedals.
Took me a few attempts and I think I lost about 6 nuts down the gap.

However, if the split is nowhere near the gap then its a weld only job.

I can have a look at it for ya mate

here is a couple of pictures of how the bulk head was fixed on my old 2.2

only when i stripped mine down i found the pedal box was split to

here it is after i had it welded

got the welder on its way back to me so should be ok for thursday mate
