Might be an ideal time for me to install one since I'm going to have the inlet manifold off........what's the cost and timescale on these? (No pressure ;))

If I were buying I would want it plain for the reasons above.

The access hatch is 26 1/2" wide by 10 1/2" high (675mm by 270mm) and obviously the opening in the bulkhead is a bit smaller!!! I can fit the tubular manifold, waste gate and first part of the down pipe to the engine with ease through the opening.

Dave


And a template for the bulkhead cut...

The access hole is 24 1/2" x 8 1/2". I cut along the top patterning that is in the original bulkhead plus down each side and then extended down to 8 1/2" total and then accross the bottom using a 1/2" radius in each corner. This leaves a flat surface for the access panel to attatch too. I used an air saw and tidied up with a file. Dave

Price for the access panel as shown in the above picture £47.00 + postage & packing (to be determined when I get one to the Post Office)

Those interested leave their names on the list. I have 2 made and can have others ready over the weekend/ early next week.

Thanks.
