Aft bulkhead blues…

[Cessnamike53]

Got a lovely situation on the -6 project. Was reading through some info on the F-612 bulkhead and seems like the one from vans is a bear to make fit sometimes . Input on the repair to make sure this doesn’t happen again would be great!

Proper repair procedure for cracks in aft bulkhead.

I have sent these photos with a brief email to Van's and awaiting on reply but I'd like to get thoughts from brain trust here. We found cracks in aft bulkhead on 1995 RV6 with 1700 hours. The bulkhead appears to be two identical bulkheads sandwiched back to back. Thoughts on proper procedure?

This may help.
