Besides allowing the passenger seat to move all the way back, the bulkhead
reduction kit also gives you easy access to the front of the engine.
I used to have to remove the seat first, then the seatbelts, then the
entire firewall. A real hassle.
Now everything stays in place except the steel plate cover which takes
about 30 seconds. I say money well spent.

While going to all that trouble and expense you should have done a
bulkhead
reduction by moving the alternator down and over and allow your
passenger
seat to come all the way back.

Back in mid-February I pulled the interior out and took it in to
have it
reupholstered in grey leather.A The shop also replaced the carpet.
Naturally the 2 week job turned into 4, but it was finally ready to
come
home.A Just in time to be my project while "sheltering in place".A
I have to
admit I was amazed at how many truly dumb things an upholstery shop
can do,
but, with lots of patience and contact adhesive (not to mention the
new
bushings a friend printed up for me to replace the ones on the seats
that
they trashed), it is coming together.A In fact, I sort of had to
shoot a
couple of shots and share - I think it is looking really good!A
