Ford focus van mesh bulkhead

Mikko Mallikas · 24-03-2016 12:44PM #1

I have a 10 focus van with essentially no bulkhead between passenger and rear compartment, and online searches they were never an option, but the newer shaped, 12 onwards sometimes appears to have a mesh bulkhead. As the focus van was never sold in UK the search is limited to Ireland. Besides getting one made ( I know there are companies will do it) does anyone know if the one from a scrapped newer van would fit? any tips on how to find one appreciated and please see pics attached.

New one certainly wont fit totaly different car.

Maybe try mr bullbar or some of the other van accessory places.

Towing Equipment Fabricate them for us. Not sure we've had any fitted in New Focus Vans, but they've done a few other car & suv van bulkheads for us.

Just be careful if you have airbags in the B pillar, that the bulkhead doesn't go across them - could be very dangerous.

Thanks for the advice, made a template, bought steel and got a friend to weld it up, then painted and installed.

Looks like a good job!

Been a while since I've seen one, but are they not usually fixed somewhere at the top? Probably strong enough, but I know ones we've had fitted to other vehicles were screwed in to where the rear seat grab handle was (after that had been removed).

Could have been, but stuff in van will never be piled high and lower down was the main concern along with a deterrent to being broken into. Top half is easily removed if required.
