Over the Xmas holidays i broke my front left bulkhead (lil pin on it) and need to replace it.

I'd like to get a set of aluminum bulkheads for the front.
What brand should i go with for the bulkheads?
Also should i get the rear Bulkheads @ the same time? (for even weight distribution) or does it not matter

Also i'd like to get a new engine mount (with a heatsink on it)
again what brand would u recommend?

I plan on getting a centre skid plate & fuel tank guard, I'd imagine my SaV would be alot heavier

Anyone use any of these parts and is there a big weight difference?

Sry for the long post & lots of questions but dont get sound advice from my lhs which sux ass, half the time they give me improper parts!! grrr

been out of commision for ever and am in need of some serious advice lol

Mr Review!! lol
TRDStreetFighter in need of ur help !!

i personally haven't tested other brands...

I have the GPM bulkheads...

and like I always says just as long you get aluminum lower arms & bulkheads you will be okay... you will have to get both or else you defeat the purpose...

yeah it will be lil heavier.. but i changed that by gear settings and engine....

I personally think that heat sink engine mounts won't do much of a difference... but since I got an adjustable engine mount by GPM, it came in a heat sink so that is just a plus... i would be mored conserned about adjusting it when you get different sized engines and clucth bell and fly wheel..

for the rear... bulkhead.. up to you... more damage will do come from the front.. but I got them just to make it even...
 
if you get aluminum bulk heads be sure to get the aluminum bulkhead braces. Adding aluminum a-arms would make this set-up bullet proof, and would be a very good time to do the 4spider gear mod to your differentials while you have it apart. All is very easy stuff:banana: <--- who put this on here?? I wanna squish it
 
Broke front bulkhead and gearbox cover the other day. Checking out the Golden Horizons bulkhead from Tower hobbies. Anyone using these?? New era wants my left kidney for a pair of heavy duty ones. I already have aluminum arms on front. Will check out the GPM ones........
