How to repair a Series Land Rover Bulkhead

[@BruceWatson-x8p]

Excellently explained. Bruce from Gold Coast QLD. I have 2 x Series 2a's which both need repair so very helpful and succinct.

We have YRM here in the UK and their stuff is excellent and the range is continually expanding

Great tip with the copper. I use flux core and have no problems.

Cheers mate, working on sheet metal with flux core wire is tough work. You're a more patient man than me. Lol

[@andrecharles1360]

Have you ever thought of using a two part vehicle adhesive to bond the repair parts to the bulkhead under repair? That would remove any heat to the repairs while sealing the overlapping parts completely. Thoughts?

[@philthy4242]

You could absolutely do that. I think it depends on your welding ability and the ammount of repair work (i.e. the amount of heat) you are doing in a particular area. Insofar as sealing the panels, I'm kinda of the opinion that these cars (while not perfect) have lasted over 50 years of hard use and still exist, so getting them back to factory and treating them a little kinder will solve a lot of the rust/water ingress issues... But I don't claim to be an expert or an authority on these things, just an enthusiastic amateur :)

@@philthy4242 i am thinking of no welding but rather just bonding the sections. I have galvanised sections i have bought for my bulkhead and i am wondering whether they can just be glued together rather than welding.

Excellent Tutorial!! About to take on my second series 3 bulkhead restoration. I'm no stranger to a Mig, but would love a spot welder. Thanks from Ireland 🇮🇪

Great stuff Phil, I need all the help I can get!

[@cestrilli]

Thanks Phil really appreciate your effort. excellent

Flux core Mig is fine if you spend the time to practice and get your setup correct. The advantage with Flux core is, you can still weld if there is a risk of the shielding gas being blown when working outside, in which case Mig with gas can be problematic. It is only practice.

[@philthy4242]

Mate, if you can do panel work with flux, then you're a better man than me.

Lots of good tips. I wish I had a steel break and roller tool. Would’ve made my repairs easier.
