Rear Bulkhead/Firewall

[Pete&Matt]

Does anyone have any pics of what they have done with the rear bulkhead/firewall? I know the screen fits into the hole but thats about it.......just thinking of the interaction with the roll bar etc.

Cheers

Not sure what you're after --------------- screen fits into the hole rear bulkhead

If you're talking about the bulkhead between the back of your seats and the body at the top of the boot ---- I made a paper then a cardboard template of that area but made it in two pieces so's to easily get round the diagonal on my roll bar. I used alloy sheet , fitted rivnuts all round the edge . About 6 inches apart along the top , nothing at the sides . The bottom edge of the alloy piece , I angled to fit the ledge behind the seats , just 25mm that's all then rivnuted that f/glass ledge about 8 inches apart. Used stainless domeheads into the rivnuts . Job done then carpet it or whatever you fancy

Can't send pic's cos my build album from start to finish is just ordinary photos and I didn't possess a PC or digi camera when I built the Stylus

when i said screen, i meant the fibreglass panel that its cut out from the screen to make the hole!

Does yours come down so it completly covers the inner body from the boot? Basically up to the back of the seat pans?

No , I preferred to have a 3 odd inch ledge plus it was easier to cut it out in alloy if it was upright or almost If you glass it in then it's permanent. I was glad mine was removable when changing my roll bar which I did very soon after the build .Basically the bar didn't cover your head if the car rolled so was useless in my view

well we are going to have no choice but to get our own bar made, so will make sure it covers out heads! Like you say, not much point having it if not!
