Mud Bulkhead Removal Bar?
Anyone regretted modifying the rear bulkhead and fitting something like the Mud Rear Bulkhead Removal Bar? I ideally wanted to keep all of the rear bulkhead intact, however I think I'm going to have to have it modified just to provide me with some legroom.

I don't think the risers are an option for me as I'm long in the body.

Do you mean the full removal of the bulkhead?
Mudstuf sell a partial bulkhead removal bar,which alows a bit of extra rear movement on the seats,but you dont loose the bulkhead completely.

Mine came with the factory bar - and I love it. If it's just about adjusting the seat though - I'd buy some spacers and try raising it :

M8 x 25 - fit the standard spacer washer from the front on the back - so you have the spacer and two washers at the back and just the spacer at the front.

You want some longer M8 button head bolts - maybe M8 x 40 (can't quite remember!?).

All in it'll cost you about £8 to find out.

I had the bulkhead removed in the wife's 90 so I could fit in it and had a bar put in, best move I made to be honest. Lots more legroom for me and comfort when i'm driving and I think it looks better that way too.

think you can get a top capping that fits on when you drop the top of the bulkhead down without removing bulkhead completely

when I done mine on a 200tdi I just dropped the bulkhead down behind the drivers seat and made a bit of capping and left the rest of it as standard , and made a big diffirence to drivers seat

Did mine last year, great modification, I hardy notice less bulkhead as It's quite discreet.
If you're competent It's an easy enough mod, worse bit is the riveting! there's about 25 of the gits Laughing
Makes a small difference to seat adjustment, goes back about another inch and backrest reclines much further ....although i did make a set of seat risers for mine, great improvement.

If you fit the bulkhead bar you'd be better off with seat risers too. Guns and Landrovers .... anything else is irrelevant.
