TD5 and TDCi bodywork
Hi all,

Just trying to workout some bodywork issues.

What panels are different on these two vehicles? Assuming both are 110 Hard Tops.
I know the bonnets are different and I believe the bulkhead is different.

Were there any other changes to the outside? If I started a build with a TDCi bulkhead would TD5 panels all bolt on?

Thanks Ian

I believe you have it spot on

Bulkhead & bonnet are 2007 >

Everything else is the same as 2004 > (steel doors change)

Steering wheel spline and steering box changed and those 2 pin diffs

Oh and rear tubs for seats changed as did the rear seat x member on a 110

Yes you can, the doors although the inner frame is slightly different shape, dimensionally they are the same. There are slight changes to the rear tub but again that is only internally so it will bolt on with little problem.

Your only problem with a TDCi bulkhead is if you are going to fit a TDCi dash, will be the electrics and sensors for the gauges and speedo. Similarly it will also depend on what engine and gearbox you are going to fit?

I've heard about TDCi dash issues and not working correctly. Will have to see if there is a way around this and what it is that does't work properly.

It'll be the 3.9 v8 auto from a 1990 RRC with the Borg Warner transfer box. The speedo signal is electronic on my one as opposed to the older cable.

I'm after a 90 SW look just on 100" and with the 2 flip down seats. Ian

Hi Ian

One other thing with fitting a Tdci bulkhead is the bottom of the bulkhead interferes with a non Tdci gear lever so the levers have to be modified as well.

I was looking at fitting a Tdci bulkhead to my TD5 as you can find a lot of new Tdci BH's but new TD5 BH's are like hens teeth. Looking at what is involved I am not going to bother and I will continue my search for a new TD5 one.

Just seen your update so the gear lever issue does not apply !
