I noticed but didn't know anyone made them chrome. I was thinking, this guy must be really dedicated to sit and polish all those e-clips. :lol:

Thanks Morten!

I do have an alloy rear shock tower, but I've yet to find an alloy rear bulkhead.

Anyone here have a 1 off rear alloy bulkhead they'd part with? 8)

Perhaps when Walt is done designing the 2,25 gearbox
We could persuade him to make a bulkhead :wink:
