Fitting Bulkhead to a crew cab connect


Recommended Posts

Hi,

I currently have a 2014 connect panel van which has the rear seats and moveable mesh bulkhead.

 

Does anyone know if I would be able to fit a standard metal bulkhead as I’m removing the seats and just want the van as a 2 seater panel van. I’m a bit concerned as there is a footwell for rear passengers, would this be an issue?

On the American-bound Connects, the cargo vans have a false floor put in over the footwell, so the floor is flat and one-level all the way back (no "crew cab" option available in the US except in full-size Transits). Incidentally, the bulkheads we have available screw into that false floor, so you would probably need to do some extra fabrication to put in a standard bulkhead. I wouldn't bother covering up the footwell since it's usable space; instead, I'd make some sort of bracket/mount so the bulkhead has something strong to mount to along the bottom. Something like a 30mm square steel tube cut & welded to match the profile around the front seats would probably do fine, with mounting plates welded to the two ends to bolt it to the B-pillars next to the front seats and potentially even a couple vertical supports going to the floor near the middle.
