Catastrophe! I was installing new shocks and powered coated a-arms along with spindles and noticed a crack in the bulkhead. After further investigation, both left & right bulkheads are cracked. WHY? The crack is in a, what seems to me, not a stressed area. But, being a bulkhead, the whole thing’s stressed. I guess I’m glad I found it before a real accident occurred. Anyone have a lead on a set of bulk heads for a 05 RS Venture? I think Rage and Vector will also work. CRAP!! :o| :drink: :die
 
They are not that difficult to change. I just changed one on my wife's 07 rs vector GT.

There was also a guy in the classifieds who had a ton of delta chassis stuff.

You might not notice because you will be changing out both. I only had to change out one, but learned after a little struggle that you have to dis-assemble and reasseble them together as one piece.

You can get them in/out without messing with the hoop too. It just takes a little encouragement.
