Vixen bulkhead

[tomtrout]

I wondered if any of you gents had a pic or two of a Vixen bulkhead minus the heater box? I have a plethora of holes in my bulhead and I am trying to work out "what goes where" with regards to loom, speedo cable, choke cable etc.

Yes, there's holes everywhere !!!

I've glassed over most of them in mine (S3), having changed the heater unit for a more compact integrated one, but kept the original heater box with a few mods to it. I've now got only one (hole) for speedo, one on passenger side for wiring loom. No choke on mine now.
Still quite a few bolt holes though !!

If youve filled the holes for the bonnet release catches how are you opening the bonnet ?

Mine were totally knackered, and had been bent after a crash, and I couldn't find replacements. So I've got the rally type clips now with an angle bracket. Not original, but functional.

Depends on the age of Vixen. Carolina Rod Shop have photographed the strip down of a couple of TVR's and a couple of the shots show the pierce points in the bulkhead really well. The photo's can't be accessed from the Carolina Rod Shop web site anymore but the following link still works: http://www.carolinarodshop.com/current_proj/65_tvr...

There's a stack of photos which I've found really useful.

here's a pic of mine (unfinished rebuild) with a non standard 2.8 engine and all sorts of modifications (like the fusebox....)
