Bulkhead removal bar standard vs recaro one
Hi Folks,

Does anyone know what the difference is between the standard bulkhead removal bar and the one that works with the recaro seats. Thanks

Shane

The standard bulkhead removal bar is the tubular one that removes the bulkhead completely, the SVX just lowers the top of the bulkhead enough to fit the recaros but keep some of the bulkhead as they were based on pickups. As far as I know they will both fit with recaros

Try them in first, you might not need to alter the bulkhead.
The back is thinner, so you sit a little bit further back in the seat.

I have it cut out already as I also want to fit a NAS centre console.

You don't have to remove the bulkhead to fit the console. You can trim the rear bottom corner off the console to allow it to fit.
