behind seat bulkhead removal

<< < (2/3) > >>

bezzabsa:
excuse the ignorance, but couldnt a fabricated bar be fitted from side to side at about capping height? surely that would do the same job? obviously fitted slightly further back than the bulkhead was??

tomarse:
If you have a hardtop on you could just do away with the bulkhead and i'd imagine that the roof would keep it rigid..

Though I cant imagine it being that much of a problem if you just chopped it away on a ragtop. Ive got an ex-mil seatbelt mounting bar on mine which goes across my rear tub.

I've been tempted just to chop mine out down to the level of the rear side seatboxes and see what happens.

hobbit:
The strength is in the chassis more than the body, dont forget these tubs are aluminium, as long as you dont fill thehtub with something to bow the sides out, my v8 lightweight has this removed and has no probs or any effect on it everything still looks straight

bezzabsa:
so basically its to stop the passengers / cargo shooting through!
great , now where did i put that grinder  :twisted:

muddyweb:
The biggest issue isn't "normal" use, but when the thing is off-road or (heaven forbid) in an accident.   The bulkhead adds a surprising amount of rigidity to the body.

As another option, you could get a handrail bar from a 109 Station Wagon, which will add a bit of strength back in
