Yeah i have mate. Sorry forgot to mention that. I want the bulkhead to be as strong as possible and dont want it to split apart when pressing the pedal hard. lol

All inside will be stitch welded anyway!

Good stuff. I understand your thinking there entirely.

Why dont you put your pics etc in this thread for the benefit of anyone searching the forums & for future reference..

Thought about it triangulating mate, but its just adding more weight lol. I think it should be strong enough

Sprayed gearbox with engine enamel (sp?)
