Hello honky tonks,

Git some serious tin worm under the windscreen.

Here’s a picture

As I understand it, the bits I’ll need are the vent section and the post section. I’ll just send on here the bits that I think they are- please let me know if I’m wrong or need to purchase something different .........

Thanks for your assistance peeps

You might find there is also some rot on the inside of the bulkhead when you start ripping it apart to repair. good luck

I suspect the holes will grow. Worth really looking and making a decision whether a new bulkhead would be easier

Inside the engine bay, and inside the cab there’s not a spot of rust- the whole bulkhead was replaced about 10 years back... I’m trusting that these small patches have got worse over the last couple of years and are isolated....

A windscreen seal wouldn’t go amiss too, but yes them parts should do what you can see on the outside of the bulkhead.

You may have to do a bit of diy patching too. Two of those pics are the A pillar pieces but that didn't appear affected by the rust in the pics.
When done spray waxoyl inside the bulkhead cavity and try to ensure you get it in everywhere.
I patch repaired mine and waxoyled too and it worked a treat, never had any more problems.
