Default Hand Made Bulkhead

With the door pillars done I wanted something level I could use as an easy datum.

I made a bracing panel to join the two pillars.


I then made the front section. I didn't want something totally smooth so I made it in the bead roller. I had to make it in two pieces so it would fit my bead roller - butt weld it back together.



Once I rolled the beads it was curved like a banana. so I had to stretch the raised panels to flatten it. In this shot it was lying flat, but I hadn't put it through the roller yet or trimmed straightened the edges.

I cleco'd it in place in case I needed to adjust it later.


The tricky section will be between the screen and bulkhead as the MG Midget screen has a double curvature.



I've just propped it in place whilst I plan the next stage. It will sit 3" higher than where I've mocked it up.
