Bulk head pannel infront of battery....

the thin plate that has the rubber seal ontop of it just infront of the battery, is this sructural?

nope - but the spot welds at the bottom are

i told you that before spaz!

i have pictures from rally cars to prove it.
dan hasn't got it, neither has cambridge.
they wouldn't remove it if it weren't structual.


slap, slap, slap.


listen boy!

sorry daddy, shall i bend over now?

you are getting no plums for tea tonight.

now go to your room

mmmm, plums

cut it out, but stop when you get the the 2nd skin of metal thats about 20-25mm up from the bottom, this bit is needed to retain some strength.
if your that worried, bung a strutbrace in.

dan and i did it for air flow to the carbs (and to lose a bit of weight, or to justify the strut brace)

id recomend stitch welding along the 2 sheets of metal, and maybe even along the bottom (where it goes flat for the battery tray)

also cut out all un nessecary seat mounts, dash mounts etc and that stupid piece of steel over the front of the tunnel

something like this....
