dazmond,

nice to know you like them, i have 3 identical transits mate.

You should let me have your number incase i have anything in the areas you are, if im not in them areas it may be worth it for you.

Also if you get something out of the way or too big, let me know and i'll see you right.

 ;)

I'm afraid that you won't be able to fit a Berlingo/Partner bulkhead to your Multispace if my memory serves me. The difference between your car and the van is the rear passenger footwells are plated over in the van to give a flat rear cargo floor from the back of the front seats to the back doors. The bulkhead attaches to a lip that is incorporated in this footwell plate.

By the time you get someone to fabricate a special heavy duty bulkhead to securely protect you, you will find the cost will be too high.

The best bulkhead for the vans was the one that PSA supplied as an optional extra from new.

(but the problem is that the base of the lower bulkhead has nothing to secure onto.)

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Citroen-Berlingo-1-9-Diesel-Van-/251058448491?pt=UK_Commercial_Trucks&hash=item3a743fe86b

This is an older Berlingo van and you will be able to see the half steel bulkhead, the steel floor plate I refer to and how they fit together. BTW this van doesn't have the upper steel mesh section.

This Ebay seller shows a picture of the back of his van and you can clearly see the white vertical plate behind the seats. The ladder frame behind the drivers seat secures to this plate.

Sorry its not the answer you were looking for.

I was thinking about James' situation during the course of the day and came to the same conclusion. The bulkhead that Citroen/Peugeot supplied as a factory fitted option gets its strength from the rigidity and strength of the van floor of which it becomes an integral part. The van floor is incorporated into the chassis.

At the moment he has nothing to protect him, not even a flimsy ladder frame bulkhead they fitted as standard in the vans. A Multispace was designed as a people carrier who would be expected to wear seat belts.

To get an engineering company to fabricate a one off bulkhead will probably cost more than the vehicle is worth unfortunately.
