Landy bulkhead exchange pictures
04
|
The
beginning,
lots of parts to take off, all bagged and marked up |
Just
after the old bulkhead came out, Dan is still holding it..... |
Just
before the new bulkhead came in. this was day one
|
new
bulkhead placed, and starting to bold it in |
Day
Two, having fun fixing the air-intake. It seems that the inner part
is to be fitted to the wing prior to fixing the wing.... but with
BFI it can be done after
|
Day
Two, bulkhead and wings are fitted and secure, brake, clutch and accelerator
pedals are fitted, steering column fitted and we are just having fun
repairing the roof fixings.
we ended up having to open the small
channel, remove the captive spring nut, and fit a plate with a rivet
nut fitted (custom made)
|
The
Next weekend, window in, floor fitted (new panels) and started on
the dash assembly
first up was wiper and washer jet, vent
flaps which are bolted shut using two custom made C clamps and extra
fixings on the flap.
then an insulation layer of neoprene rubber
and then the dash parts, slow progress
Note the tube.....????? |
That
tube again (behind the heater tube)
This is all part of an ploy to improve
Install door window demisting vents, as any normal car has, except for
defenders.
The tube is connected to the heater duct and
routes to the side of the dash....
|
The
dash in a nearly ready state. The top dash is custom made with wider
windscreen vents and no ash tray.
you can see The door window vent exiting in
the grab handle (small hole under the cavity for the Land Rover
Oval).
eventually a grill will cover the hole.. now
only the wiring and switches |
Day
X, started the electrics finally.
The "old" relay board now lives in
the "old" fuse location. mechanical jobs done except
for bleeding the brakes and clutch
|
Another
Day, wiring the TDI dash...Ehm read wire, green connector ehm.
Why do we do this to ourselves ? |
