remove defender 90 inside wall

[gclass]

Hi,

I am not sure how to call the wall I have behind the front seats, but I am sure I want to remove it

I have defender 90 1997 and I would like to remove the wall I have behind the front seats so I can have more room when I am driving, and my girlfriend to lean back her seat.

any help, ideas, links, kits, images etc will be appreciated,

Thx
G

It's called a rear bulkhead. Look on the Mudstuff website they sell a reinforcing bar that replaces the bulkhead. You can't just remove the bulkhead as it's structural but you can rreplace it with a reinforcing bar.

hi ya its called the rear bulkhead , its there to stop the body twisting . you can get a couple of types of strengtheners. if you want to remove it completely go to ppcages but seriously pricey or the cheaper way is about 150quid go to the following link. no matter what you take out you know she will never lean back as far as you want her to.

thx all for replies

MudStuff's kit is less than I want to achieve, how come the new defender dont has bulkhead? is it whole different body?

I am thinking about going to a local welder to produce one that will fit my desires, are there particular points I need to anchor?

@ wickford90 - we both came back home after a long ride and she told me "make my seat lean back or its my last time in this landy", but you made me laugh

I had a similar decision to make and plumped for this one.... easy really

Ah think ye're thinkin' of a station wagon wi' the second row seats. Ye won't get yer seats to recline right back as the wheel boxes are in the way
Ye could always change yer seats. My mrs said me seats are the best ones she's sat on and are dead comfy... even after a 12 hour drive
