Bulking up

Last year I was able to secure the new "gusseted" bulkhead parts and over the last month I've gradually installed them. The bulkhead weakness was something I knew about going in and waited for the new version to come out.

This is the old version. In some condition the vertical tubes allowed play in the bulkhead. (the image is from last year when I was working on improving the amount of overcenter in the gear.)



The new version adds a bit of weight but it's worth it.
