Thanks Ade90 that is just what I needed, my 90 rebuild has really kicked into gear now as the engine came out yesterday and the roof came off as well!
Thank you again. Alan |

Apologies for hi-jacking this thread with my first post! I have a bulkhead removal bar and was planning on starting work on removing the bulkhead (carefully
 ) on my Defender 90. In order to fit the bar, I (like Alan who started this thread) will need to fit the bar supporting brackets that bolt into the front of the rear tub (just by the seatbelt tensioners).
I already have a fully integrated roll cage under the soft top, that bolts straight through the tub and into the chassis in a number of places, one of which is at the front of the rear tub, exactly where the removal bar brackets will bolt. As the roll cage currently bolts to the chassis, my view is that I have a structurally and actually stronger support than the removal bar will ever add to the car. I actually have all round structural support through the chassis and across the roof line at the very same place the support bar fits (as well as others). As a result, I'm wondering whether I can just cut out the bulkhead, and not bother with the bar at all (which I may sell subject to answers / opinions here). Any help, advice or opinions will be greatly appreciated. A photo of the current roll cage bracket is attached to give folk an idea of what I'm on about. Obviously the bar continues up and over the car and attaches at the same place on the other side, giving all round support. Thanks in advance.  Click image to enlarge |

You have exactly the same issue I had 12 months ago.
I had already removed the bulkhead and fitted the removal bar and then decided to fit a safety devices cage. Sure enough the 2 aren't compatible. I talked to a number of Landy people (inc the supplier of the cage) and all agreed the strength of the cage would more than make up for the loss of the bulkhead and hence the removal bar wasn't necessary. So far I have had no problems and everything is rock solid. I would emphasise that I have used a safety devices cage that is properly tested and mounts to the chassis (like yours). Hope this helps.
