    I'm gererally more of a builder than a buyer. I didn't notice that bit about "not for series." Is it my imagination or do NAS D90s use a bar that dips down to the seat box and not a bulkhead?

      Nope. That's the case. Ties to the inner hoop. Some UK spec rovers had this feature as well as the Japanese 90s.

        It may be a simple reason that doesn't matter to someone who doesn't mind a little work to make it fit. But it may be a bit more involved.

        90's are wider if my memory serves me right. No spare tire holder in there as well.

          I basically posted about Mudstuff to let SafeAirOne see that the bar running behind the seats really does not really have to be there and used them as example showing that it can be removed.

            That's what I figured...Although the way they modified the bulkhead on the MudStuff site, it seems as if they try to retain some of the former bulkhead's structural properties.

              You want to use that in a 109?

              That bulkhead removal bar is for a 90 not 110.

              Just so you dont get too excited...

                Yeah--I saw that. There's no bulkhead in that location in a 109 station wagon. The whole topic was too mundane to get me excited in the first place. I'll have to start posting more exciting things like "How do you put out a parking brake fire?" or "Cornering techniques when traveling at 105mph."

                  Basically the parking brake fire would be dealt with by heading for the lake that you are hurtling towards at great speed while desperately trying to stop. Now, if your parking brake is not on fire then desperately try to avoid the lake because that will make the brakes that are on your Rover as you fly down a really steep hill even more ineffective.

                  And we all know that it would be a really steep hill to get a Rover up to 105! In fact it may even entail a drop of some sort.
