As most of you will be aware, I have been messing with my 2a LW. Turning my attention to the body for a bit. There are dozens of holes in the floor of my rear tub and the tub bulkhead certainly isn't right. So my question. Is the floor of a series 2 or 3 the same size, so if I sourced one, I could drill out and refit along with the bulkhead and replace the supports, too. It might be the most cost effective option if so. Thanks

I bought a full tub floor for my 2A LWT off Charles Emberton (Emberton Imperial). That would sort you out. I'm not sure if the LWT floor is exactly the same dimension as the civilian 88. I think possibly not as they were different offers.

I know this would do the trick, but along with the many other things I am trying to source to get it something like, just going to buy a new floor isn't an option at the mo, therefore hoping it may be compatible. As to the bulkhead? Different, too?

Afraid so!
You might find a good second hand tub somewhere though. That would save a lot of grief. Unless you are really rivet counting, a Series 3 tub will do fine.

A local chap has a series tub without the braces. I seem to recall someone in Wiltshire having some lying around
The bulkhead behind the seats seems to be just cut ally whereas in the tub seems more original.
