Hi All
Welded the bulkhead hoop to the scuttle frame of my special. It is 1" angle iron and was quite difficult to bend without incurring lots of twist and a painful burn't hand (cherry red steel doesn't cool quite as quickly as I had thought!). The uprights are welded onto side rails which are, in turn, bolted to the chassis cross rails.
I plan a 3mm bendy ply - 12mm ply - 3mm bendy ply sandwich with lots of large diameter holes drilled into the 12mm ply. All topped off with a fabric finish. Hence the angle iron. The ply sandwich will fit nicely into the angle and can be attached by screws through the back of the steel.
Welcome any comments.
Should I start a new thread on the build rather than this one?
Cheers
Howard
