bulkhead fixings

[essex iain]

ive bought a bulkhead for my new van. to fit it i need to either use nuts and bolts, as i havent got the original captive nuts. are they still avaliable from fords?

they fit in to a hexagonal hole, and provide a thread for the bulkhead to bolt in to.

i can nut and bolt down the sides easily enough if necessary, but the floor holes seem inaccessible from the underside. if i cant get bolts through the floor im a little concerned it may not withstand weight hitting it when i brake very well.

You don't say what year van this is but the captive nuts for Mk5, 6 and 7 should be avaliable from Fords and not very expensive.

sorry forgot to mention this is an m reg smiley. went to fords and ordered fifteen to get me started at 99p each. that should do each side and across the floor hopefully.

There is that, or you could of used self tappers straight through the floor.
