Scratchbuiling is an affair of try and error and revision. So I had two or three attempts building some parts for this car. This is for the front bulkhead too.
I realized that the front bulkhead and the triangular suspension supports are not in one piece. Hence I cut the triangular support, made a new reduced bulkhead from alu sheet with opening for the brake cylinders and the steering rack.
