Aaron, if Rick is sending Magnum bulkhead for a template and you are going to repop in steel and aluminum, interested when you get some done.

If any are repopped stay away from the aluminum ones. They just dont hold up. Unless is for a show sled. Racing with them isnt a good idea. IMO.

alum, can be made as strong as steel with thicker alum probally weigh the same or more as steel to get strength in it alum is cooler, a big beefy alum magnum bulkhead would be cool those steel ones cracked and broke pretty easy

I think that Luke is trying to say don't make a 76 Magnum bulkhead out of aluminum. Same thickness material doesn't hold up to a 440 for drag racing. Using one on a 340 works. Barely.

What type of aluminum did you use Josh? I have found so far that the material these sleds are made out of is mush and soft. I would think 2024 or 7075 would work for that application. You couldn't do much structural welding on either of those material though as it would anneal them. They would need to be assembled in a different manner.

Actually Bill had it made. He was going to use it for oval racing then decided not to. I have no idea what they used. And I'm sure Bill wouldn't know either. Let me see if I can find a pic of it. I'm going to have to dig back a long way !!

no idea what was used for aluminum. they where built to look like the original steel bulkhead. fast forward some years later, i picked up a real true 76 magnum sno-pro. aluminum bulkhead that is built nothing like the steel bulkead. lower center of gravity and built very well for strength.

Right on MrMotors, with the improved grades of alum. don't necessarily have to go twice as thick to equal steel. Thanks for pic's Josh.

Sure no problem. I had fun going through all the old pics of that build. It is hard to believe that I built that sled in 2004 !! I'm getting old !! LOL !!

The main structure could be made from 2024 and then either riveted or bolted together and for added insurance slap a little hy-sol (structural aircraft cement)on it. There are bits of it that could be welded in non-critical areas, however welding heat-treated alum anneals it so one would have to be careful of that.
