pdizzle Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 Hey there. just got my transit connect home. Starting on some basic cleaning up to get it ready for a camper conversion. The partition behind the front seats is bolted to the plastic moulding on the B pillar as well as the ceiling between the B pillars. It seems to be some sort of riveted/non removable hardware.. I haven't seen it before. Is it just something I have to drill out and then later try to remove the metal bits floating around in my car? Thanks!!

G B L Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 Its a Blind rivet, You will have to drill it out carefully. I would start with a 3/16 Drill and if the head comes off when you get 3/16 to 1/4 into the head you will have the right drill, if not then go to a 1/4 " drill .

pdizzle Posted March 15, 2016 Author Share Posted March 15, 2016 Yep. take care when doing this, then put the bulkhead online for sale.. if someone would like to buy it, that would be great. I figured there would be more of these being removed than installed, though.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacob Sheppard Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 Is this the "airline style cargo" partition that you're removing? Interested in buying if so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, but I'm not totally sure what you mean by airline style.. Here's a link to some photos of the divider and shelving that I removed: https://goo.gl/photos/uofUv3F2FNiC7ZbE8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrtn Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 That's aftermarket but rigid nonetheless. Someone will definitely buy it from you. I am looking for a "new" Gen1 ('12-13) with a rigid bulkhead and most LWB in Germany (where there are a lot for sale) are equipped with the cage type divider.

uphomesteaders Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 We also have a partition like this in ours and it is going to be taken out. Wonder where one could sell this and how much could it fetch. The van also had shelving units along both sides that will be sold, dont know what they are worth either. We put them up on the local facebook sales pages but no interest yet. We were going to try and sell them as we have no real use for them.
