Back bulkhed

Post by NV3167 »

I am trying to find out the best solution to replacing the L-Beam aluminum that is along the top of my back bulk head. It actually holds the back bulkhead to the bridge.

I tried to go to a fab shop to have them make one, but they said they could not make the bend.

Any suggestions?

How about fabricating it out of two pieces of plate and having it welded together to form the angle? Any good metal fabricator should be able to bend it. I don't recall it being that complex, but I could be wrong.
