Patrick-

I remember reading several posts about bulkhead problems on b35's. Are the 31's also prone to this or due to construction and or different material use, not as prone. The bulkhead in my 70 seems solid and I would like to keep it that way. Any advice that might help insure extra life? One other somewhat related problem. I seem to be getting water inside rear overhang of the bridge (the area above the engine box, port side only). If you take a small drill and pop a hole up through the bottom layer about 1 inch in from the rear edge right where the corner is, water will drip out. I can't seem to figure out where the water is coming from, any ideas.

Thanks much!!
Dan
