Planning to do a serious rebuild of my 1971 Series 3 bulkhead (A pillar, footwells and vent openings) over the holidays - seems from the pictures on the web that many people use a jig to make sure the dimensions dont change. Does anyone have a drawing or measurments for the bulkead or jig please?

I bolted mine to a piece of wood before cutting it about to keep the feet in the right place, you can add as many reference points and marks to the wood as you need.

I left mine in situ and just cut out one bit at a time.

Same here. I left mine bolted to the old chassis and did one side at a time. When putting back onto new chassis it did need pulling about with ratchet straps to get the alignment spot on.

I used a piece of angle iron drilled to fit the original feet.
