Bulkheads

The metal work took some time as never removed a bulkhead before. Long winters.
The transmission arch from original was fit to replacement TD-5 bulkhead

What goes in the oblong holes right left?
Looks like the windscreen mister is center?

Left hand drive wipers?

If your looking at filling them holes just put some extra washer jets in them

You can get the specific oval grommets for the unused wiper holes. I prefer mounting the washer jets on the wiper itself.

What years was the TD-5 ? Is there a fiche for that what I use I do not believe has those models?
For that grommet or how do you do on the wiper?

That said I can see why these rust out the replacement is in okay shape but without proper protective coating it would rust the same some time will be spent to remedy that. A bit on the wing need welding.

LR014315 is the part number for the oval gromet. all defender bulkheads have had both sets of holes for left and right hand wiper setups with the remaining holes filled with a grommet. the change over came I believe towards the end of the 300tdi where the later oval style wiper spindle began to be used.

The TD-5 was still a defender type vehicle with a different motor assuming?
