Hi, I,m looking for a bulkhead turbo box, can anyone help?
Found one on eBay, but it's 6-8 days delivery, really could do with it before the weekend.

Alternatively, does anyone know the dimensions, so I can get one made up.

I'd contact "Bungle". He might shed some light on the turbo box.

no i haven't got one

all the talk from Scallywag about IVA tests after fitting one put me off

I've heard that!

I should be able to work it out, when I've got the engine with the car tomorrow.
Does anybody know what the heat implications are, would it best to line the box with some heat reflective material,

Bungle, have you gone with a turbo, if so how did you get it to fit without cutting into the bulkhead, ive looked at the era mini, which is tilted, but it seems a lot of work.

some of the other implications Scallywag is on about can be found here

im pretty sure the era's had bulkhead boxes, anyway, minispares sell bulkhead boxes.

I brought mine from minispares a couple weeks ago, havent fitted it yet though, but it does come with instructions.

i think all this IVA is a load of crap too, if its done propley i cant see the problem?

[samsfern]

its because theres people out there that dont do things properly.

ps, racerpete, how much neggy camber are you running? looks a fair amount, looks pretty sweet, lol.

it doesn't matter if it's done properly or stuck in with blue tac the bulkhead mods aren't tested if you IVA your mini

you need the IVA test because you have lost the identity of the shell

it would be better to read links provided then make a informed choice rather go on what a mate over heard in a pub

[samsfern]

so what do they actually test? does a bearded potbellied man just look at it after its been painted and pick holes in your car, whilst rubbing his belly? pigeonpooh welds can look good one ground down and undersealed.

[onedayitwillbefinished]

I have the added problem, I had to replace the shell, got an ex racer with a fibreglass front, now we're doing the bulkhead, i will definitely end up with a Q plate,
What do you think of the paint job, not really classic I know. (hopefully it uploaded)
