Ford Transit Forum

Hi everyone, apologies if this isn't in the right section (I know most don't consider the Connect to be a proper Transit anyway - I won't argue!)

I've got a 2004 SWB low roof 220 L, I 'd like to put a full steel bulkhead in for secuity and safety. At the moment, I've just got the floor to ceiling ladder thing behind the drivers seat.

I've seen 2 piece bulkheads advertised on ebay, but thought I'd ring the local Ford dealer (Basingstoke) for a price on a brand new one. I won't bore you with the details, but essentially the bloke just kept saying 'I can give you prices for some parts, but I don't know that they will fit - the computer doesn't say its for your van'. Very helpful :roll:

So, does anyone know if Ford do make a standard metal full bulkhead for a Connect? I can't imagine its the most radical request ever for a van.....

Thanks in advance.

Paul

Yes, they do various different styles of bulkheads!!

If you want to send me your reg, i can get part numbers and prices from work tomorrow.

Do you want a little window in it or completely solid metal one?
