Hi

I'm a new born Defender owner (in Denmark), pretty happy, working with the challenges

Bulkhead is rusted RH side, from approx upper doorhinge, and a little below where the bulkhead/A bar arches out. Also pretty bad where the door seal is sitting. What do I do, is it fixable. New bulkhead?

Tks
Thomas

there are repair kits for the bulkhead but you might find that it is worse inside than out and in some cases would be easier to replace it all.

these are similar to what i used but you dont need the foot bracket:

yeah saw that in the pics but like you say the rust will have gone somewhere and i couldnt find any cappings with the curved section when i was looking unless you bought the full side.

the tops under the windscreen on mine are pretty perished too but a bit of plate will sort that out.

The full pillar makes a great job and when it was done i filled it with waxoyl.Thin under my screen too:doh:Thomas whatever you do mate fill the pillar with waxoyl after as its bare mild steel inside as standard.Theres loads of holes if you remove the trims and door
