Sloping bulkhead

[shaun]

Is a sloping bulkhead required for a v6 Honda or Alfa installation? In my parts collection there is a fibreglass flat bulkhead and a large piece of alu, guess this alu is the sloping part. How much slope is common?

Don't need a sloping bulkhead for any engine, but it does give more room.
The sloping bulkhead is a contoured piece withrecessed sections to accommodate the eat backs, so it doesn't sound like your's is one. The fibre bit is a trim for the cabin side of the ally.
Thought there was a pic of a sloping bulkhead on the forum somewhere, but I can't see it .

It was Scott McGill that was going to post a photo of his bulkhead, I thought I'd seen the pic, but can't find it anywhere - are you out there Scott?

Chris,

I know I have a picture of that thing somewhere, but I can't seem to find it at the moment. If I can get into the garage tonight (we got a foot of snow over the weekend, and the doors may be frozen shut) I'll take a digital picture and post it. I'll also see if I can get a measurement on the angle.

All,

I got a few pictures of the bulkhead in my car. Anybody still need to see them?

[chris.richard]

Put them in the gallery Scott, you never know when they'll be useful!

Can't seem to upload files to the gallery. Is there some trick to it, or am I experiencing a network glitch?

Hi Scott,

I think the gallery has been broken for quite some time. I've ended up trimming any images down to 500 x whatever and attaching them direct to the posts.

Chris,

I'll try and sort that in the next couple of weeks.
