e4yob Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Hi, Just came across this whilst looking through fleebay and thought id share the information, if any one is looking for a bulkhead removal bar or thinking of doing so there is a seller on fleebay selling genuine landrover items for £65 plus £15 postage. Miles cheaper than the aftermarket ones and the ones where you only remove the top half. The only bits he hasn't got with them is the nuts and bolts. The item no is: 250764305506 karl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
e4yob Posted February 14, 2011 Author Share Posted February 14, 2011 Well my bar arrived and i got to work fitting it. Heres a few pics of the bar in place. It gives the impression there is loads more room inside, not to mention the seats now go back further and are able to recline quite far. So at least the misses will be happy on long journeys and will be able to get her head down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverik Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 Hmm looking at some web born pictures of other bulkhead removal bars, some of the parts in the listing look sub standard, for example the end/side tubular supports should have an extra length and angel on the bit where it ataches onto the front of the wheel well, is should extend onto the seat belt/chassis bracket these apparently don't do that, the upper tubular part to fix onto the body capping doesn;t look to be included either, but I guess for what you get its a reasonable bargin.

e4yob Posted February 15, 2011 Author Share Posted February 15, 2011 Your quite right this bar (genuine Land Rover) doesn't have a bit that extends to the seat belt bracket on the side support but it does have (Although it cant be seen in the picture) have a bracket to bolt through the top of the capping. I guess if its good enough for land rover then it's good enough for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I too have just bought one of these bars, though I'm not planning on fitting it for a few weeks. Will post some pics here and on my new blog when I do (http://projectd90.blogspot.com/). As you said I believe this is a genuine LR product. Cheers Tod Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Thanks for the diagram I think it will prove very useful for me, if its not too much trouble, could you please provide part numbers for 9,10,12,13,14 and 15. I know these are only nuts and bolts, but as this is structural I would like to get the right bits. Thanks Tod:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smo1 Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 Hi I am looking at buying one but am new to all of this how difficult was it to fit. Is it a day job, drilling out old bolts etc? Thanks simon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yalan Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 LR factory genuine bulkhead removal bar. I can identify the parts if required. Be careful quoting parts from this diagram as I'm not sure its the right one. Microcat shows a number of bulkhead bars - all with different part nos. The ones sold on eBay are the ones specced for the 'Tomb Raider' defenders..... Pics of the fitting of mine here: LINKY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverik Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 Are you not meant to have the "internal" bar Item 16 fitted also, in my thinking this is pretty critical to keep the rigidity no? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 Are you not meant to have the "internal" bar Item 16 fitted also, in my thinking this is pretty critical to keep the rigidity no? Yes to your suggestion, the complete kit would be the best/safest way to go or the Mudstuff version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yalan Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 Yes to your suggestion, the complete kit would be the best/safest way to go or the Mudstuff version. No - the image you've supplied is part of a full rollbar system. Microcat has a different image page for this bar showing no 'part 16'. It is supposed to be a bulkhead replacement not a rollbar structure & so chassis mounts were never part of the original design. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 probably easier to use the Mudstuff version then, less confusion over parts. http://www.mudstuff.co.uk/Bulkhead_Removal_Bar.shtml Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yalan Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 probably easier to use the Mudstuff version then, less confusion over parts. http://www.mudstuff.co.uk/Bulkhead_Removal_Bar.shtml Yeah - totally agree about the Mudstuff product being easier... Typically well made stuff too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 just found this genuine LR bar on ebay, not mine NEW BULKHEAD REMOVAL BAR/KIT~LAND ROVER DEFENDER 90/110 needs bolts/nuts, so the seller has stated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yalan Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 just found this genuine LR bar on ebay, not mine NEW BULKHEAD REMOVAL BAR/KIT~LAND ROVER DEFENDER 90/110 needs bolts/nuts, so the seller has stated. Yup thats the same set as being discussed here. I'd put money on it being bought on eBay for £65 then marked up another £60 for a tasty profit. That pic shows the exact same set of parts as I received.... too much of a coincidence! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pedro Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 Now £75 on ebay. How much extra reclining do you get after fitted? Does the angled part of the tube still touch the reclined seat? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve King Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 Now £75 on ebay. How much extra reclining do you get after fitted? Does the angled part of the tube still touch the reclined seat? To get the full benefit you need to fit Mud Stuff (or similar) seat rails. I went down the Mud Stuff route and the seat goes back another 2 or so inches and the back rest reclines a whole lot further. With the raised seat rails, my legs are at a more comfortable angle (and I'm 6ft and built like a brick $h1t house!!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pics of the fitting of mine here: LINKY Thanks for the guide. That is quality work especially the welding and riveted sections - and really useful for me see how some one else has done the job - Mine wont be so neat. I am planning to leave flange of about 15mm with the old rivets in place. I have been looking at Woolies trim for a suitable U shaped edging strip to cover them.

farmerboy_y2k Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 My 110 has a protection and performance bulkhead removal bar fitted like this; Sadly whoever fitted it decided just roughly going around with a jigsaw was a godd enough way of removing the bulkhead. So when I've worked through the more important items on the to do list i want to do the front of the wheel box's like yalan has and neaten things up. It does make it alot more open and can easily reach to get things out of the back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree that Yalan's way of finishing the job is the best, but, if done well (like the P&P bulkhead in your pic) the easier way would give nearly as good a result, especially with a bit of edging trim.
