Stainless Bulkhead

[Phil McCann]

Hi again

What is the best method of fixing the stainless bulkhead trim. Obviously with having to lift the driver's side up, and the bolt head for the pedal box strengthener, it won't now sit on the original bulkhead.
Also how best to finish the curved area at the rear.

Cheers

Phil I spaced mine up on nuts all round and stuck it down with black sealer, weight it down overnight and return the next day and remove the weight.

I cut mine around the curve with a jig saw. I then bought some alluminium angle and mitred around the tray and edges an stuck these withs ealer also, the sheet has a few gaps in places where the edging doesnt quite sit down but unless you look for it it doesnt notice. I then put a bead of sealer around the curve where it meets the body and it looks great now its all dry.

Polish with baby oil its the best stuff to shine up stainless and leaves less to rub into the mrs later in the evening

Thx for that. I have already got the ally angle for the front end, but the advice for the rest is great.

The baby oil stuff is even better.......you sexy B*****d

Not a problem Phil glad I could be of assistance, and the baby oil is a brilliant tip stumbled across it by accident (cough cough) but I wont use anything less on my stainless now for getting it shiny

She was when we were together unfortunatly my love for the garage was to much for her so she let me go Cant wait to see her face when she sees what I was working on now its finished, she will wish she hung on in there. I Still see her from time to time but hey, the cobra is nearly registered and the summer has finally arrived so plenty of oppertunity for a replacement.

Hence the baby oil is getting used elsewhere now tee hee
