90 HT internal bulkhead removal?

Have done a search but surprisingly can’t find anything on this. Has anybody removed the internal partition from their hard top so that they can get access to the rear from the front? Any issues with it?

2009 Defender 90 Puma 2.4 HT Corris Grey

Wrestled mine out shortly after it arrived, its a heavy old thing, just take your time find all the nuts and bolts (both sides - front and rear) and along the bottom, once the plastic trim is removed at the front there are some hidden storage spaces underneath.......

Got to figure out what to do with them next.

Sure,

Lots of bolts and fixings to collect and best for 2 people to get the bulkhead out it is a awkward and heavy old thing, but once gone lots of space liberated (can now get a mountain bike in for example) and there is potential to get more storage space where the rear passenger foot well should be as that is just a void, somthing to investigate further next year.....

and its a flat floor. Rubber matting down as the landrover floor is quite slippy

Thanks for that. It’s the first job I’ll be doing when mine arrives.

its a good bit bigger and worth it, just be methodical with the fixings, they are on both sides (front and rear), and get a hand with the actual removal, mine slid backwards of its own accord and scratched the plastic trim slightly.

hint of the day check out this thread for rear door release and tell the dealer where it is as they dont seem to know

I read that and had a good laugh to myself!! What other plans have you got for the back? I’ll be fitting a drawer and dog box on the left as I had in my old 90 then will make a sort of box come bench seat down the right.

Perfect….Thanks very much for sharing this.
I’m looking to take a mountain bike in mine so looks promising

I want to do something with the space under the floor behind the front seats it seems too good to waste, I do some rally marshaling and it may be I can fit some radios or recovery gear in there, the rear underfloor storage is good but a pain to get to with anything in the back. May be a second battery....

I have a removable dog box, it gets strapped down when in use, might need to think more about that as the ratchet straps are good but need a better quick in and out solution to keep it secure.
