Engineers Cannot replace engineered Armour/Bulkheads

I had Heavy Duty Armour V engineered onto my Python and Anaconda lightweight armour/bulkheads. When I purchased my shiny new Corvette, I switched ships and stored the modified lightweight bulkheads from the two ships, meaning to swap one onto the Corvette. They were removed and stored fine.

But there is no way to apply the bulkheads back to the ships they came from?

There is an option under Stored Modules to transfer to ship but it does nothing. If you go to the bulkheads under Core Modules, there is no option to transfer from stored modules. I rolled quite well for these two upgrades and I need them back on the Annie and Python (the Corvette ended up clad in Military Armour with Heavy Duty V!)

If there is no way to re-apply the bulkheads, then why are we able to 'store' them?
If there is a way, can someone enlighten me?

AFAIK it's not possible to move Bulkheads from one Ship to another, unless it's the same Ship type.

Maybe you encountered a bug where Lightweight Bulkheads (even if modded) can't replace other Lightweight Bulkheads.
To test this, get yourself Reinforced bulkheads from somewhere and try again moving your modded Lightweight Bulkheads from Storage while your Ships carry the stock Reinforced Bulkheads. If it works, these can be sold from storage afterwards.

You're both right - its not possible - I did manage to get my lightweight armor back onto the Annie and the Python - I must have been trying to transfer the wrong armour before. It appears to be ship-specific.
I was then able to sell the unused free lightweight bulkheads and reclaim to storage slots.

The storage UI leaves a little to be desired in this area (but I'm glad we have some storage, at least!)

Cheers for the assistance fellas, repped.

I'm having a very similar problem.

I engineered grade 5 military grade composites for my corvette and used them for a bit. When I was going to do PvE for a while I removed the armor anlong with all hull reinforcements. Recently I wanted to put everything back on. The hull reinforcements and hardpoints worked perfectly fine but the military grade composites don't even show up in the "transfer to ship" menu and I can't transfer them from the "stored modules" menu either, although they show up there. I know for sure that they are the ones I have been using on this ship.

Am I overlooking something or is this a bug?

The problem is there isn't specified to which ship armor bulkhead do belong.
Once I had three heavy duty ones stored and I wondered ...

Turns out I was overlooking something. My Thrusters were not strong enough for the weight of the armor. I forgot I removed my A thrusters. Why didn't I think of this earlier? It would still help if it would say that somewhere when you are equipping modules from your storage, rather than having too heavy modules not show up at all.
