Bulkhead removal

I want to put captains chairs in Myvanwy! I have two old westvalia seats and two mechanisms to put them on but obviously need to remove the bulkheads! Anybody done this or know if and how I can strengthen so it is ok to do or is it ok to just cut them out and tidy it up?
Cheers

 

Type in "Bulkhead" in the search box and you'll find a lot of threads on this. Some think it's ok. Some think it's not.

VW did it so I say it's ok to chop them out.

 

Thanks birdy!

 

Yep done as you said and it's a goer! Yippee

 

Did VW chop them both out? or just one?

 

I can do the little corner thingy! I don't mind doing that!! I can even press the plate to make it more robust!

 

Moons it's not my bus. That's BriandSi's Jaffa Cake.

Speaking of others buses I also noted Bettybay 79 Tin top in the resto section also has no bulkheads. Seems it was more an American thing to do.

 

Thanks Birdy - never bothered to look being in the "no" camp, which I still am.

 

Thanks for all the info guys as always greatly appreciated!
