bought some parts from Matt before - seems a genuine bloke; does a few Chassis swaps - there's a member on here who has had his done (cobra_mark) - so could advise further - Although I think he had to sell his Defender in the end. http://www.defender2.net/forum/topic50322....storations
Small outfit; and now offers some bulkheads. Not the cheapest i've seen; but also offer a fitting service, so likely fitted them to customer vehicles so could also offer some advice https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Landrover-defen...SwhcNaXetO Contact details shown in ad. |

There's a company called Alpine Restorations offering galv bulks heads. I follow him on FB as he does some nice work but have never used them so not really a recommendation just a lead. He will also do the swap if you wanted. James

That would be the last place to take it to, Not unless you don’t want to see it again!.... 
I’ve used Meadway, now J.A, all good, although they are getting fussy about taking on LR parts, Not sure about the midlands dept, but at Eastleigh they put the prices up due to people being way too fussy! Instead of being done by weight, they started charging per part. 80" 80" 86" 88" 90" Wanted, Forward Control Anything considered. |

Don't like to use this platform to run people/businesses down but ^^^ he's absolutely right.
Google them and you'll see all you need to know. Use your own BH and do the leg work yourself. 2007 90 Puma - Love it - Best car I have ever owned. 1989 Ninety 200tdi - Love it - Second best car I have ever owned. 1951 80" Series 1 - Love it - Third best car I have ever owned. |

I had mine done by Ashtree as at the time I was relitivly local and was in no rush for it, comms were hit and miss and the quality is ok but I would look elsewhere next time. 90 wolf - Jasmin http://www.defender2.net/forum/topic39408.html

i would repair the one you have, quicker cheaper and you can try and get it done locally as well.
not a fan of Ashtree either ,very expensive slow service poors comms and as for the repair work,hmmm did it refit the car it s came of? nope. did they drill and retap anything.nope value for money nope. google is you friend here. whilst galv is popular its hard to get a good paint finish and if we did one again i would have it repaired and dipped and painted locally. |

Thanks everyone!
Looks like I'll be repairing mine or finding a decent used one to repair and dip. Which is good news, as I'm a tight Northerner  |

I used East Anglian Galvanising (Wedge) in Sawtry near Peterborough.
Good service and remarkably cheap, I have been using them for about 9-years now. Click image to enlarge ONE LIFE, GET IT! |

When you say remarkably cheap, ...how much did it cost to have the bulkhead to dipped?
