To align the tub properly, i wanted to make sure the sides were square. To that end, I fitted the EvansUK bulkhead removal bar. The bolts to secure the feet need fitting, so I’ll drille their holes tomorrow, but the top pads and lwer feet were located and fixed firmly by the seatblelt mountings, allowing the accurate setting of the tub.
The tub is now set perfectly for height, with the radius’ crease exactly matching the bulkhead’s. Interestingly, the tub is about 6-7mm wider than the bulkhead, but with that split over each side of the vehicle, 3-3.5mm won’t show over the length of the doors.
I also held the door sills in position between the bulkhead feet and tub; the bulkhead needs shimming forward quite a bit (about 6mm on the right and nearly 10mm on the left). That’ll get done properly next, folowed by fitting the jackable sills.
