The bulkhead referred to in the build manual goes in the cockpit module tunnel. When i built mine I got the "word" from the forum that this was the thing to do. There are no obvious locating points or hard points. I cut the bulkhead and adjusted it to fit the tunnel. In my case lacking the instruction I made the bulkhead in a single piece. I then covered the edges of the bulkhead in plastic and masking taped the bulkhead in place. I put 4 ply bid tapes on the top and both sides to form 2" right angle brackets in the join between the bulkhead and cockpit module. Once cured I drilled 3/16 holes through both and bolted in place.

A removable bulkhead, that sounds like a really good idea, will do that. Brian Phillips, Downunder.
