" If I thought you needed new bulkheads I would say so. I think that replacing them would be more difficult than fixing it using the patches I described. With those doublers, it will be as strong as the original design. If most of the holes in a bulkhead are bad, it may be best to replace it, but not for a small number. The other guy doesn't address the issue of how difficult it would be to fit new bulkheads when the skin is already dimpled.
Also, bear in mind that there is no "correct" answer. If you feel more comfortable replacing the bulkheads, go ahead. I wouldn't if it was my airplane, but that's just my opinion. As with medicine, I recommend you use the least drastic remedy; you wouldn't cut off your foot if you had a bruised toe. Looking at your pics again, the
real problem seems to be the F-815B rib where all the holes seem to be in the wrong place. I would replace that one as it's relatively simple to do compared to the 807/808 bulkheads. "
