Bulkhead differences?

You do have to drill the holes a little for the TD5 boxes, too. Enlarge existing holes. Just FYI for those that care.

He's going the opposite direction so he'll have to get one of those reverse drill bits that make holes smaller.

It’s called a washer. Haha

The real answer is keep the two bulkheads side by side and cut/modify/weld in as necessary. I did this When I swapped by '88 unit over to a much more modern unit.

Anything can be addressed with a welder and some sheet steel

Right. But the new bulkhead is galvanized so that will be a bit of a challenge to keep the look. Should be ok though as I apparently mounted a wiper motor and boxes at some point in time in the past as something is on it.

Even galvanized can be cleaned up (properly), welded, and then spot-coated with the right etching primer and cold galv spray. Nowhere near as good as the hot dipped, but better than nothing.
