This listing is for a template of the rear seat to trunk steel divider for your Mercury Cougar. Beneficial for international customers who would like to save on shipping costs, or anyone who can use this template to cut their own from the sheet metal of their choosing.
Traced out on butcher paper.
We have noticed that after 40 plus years of chassis flex, the welds on the cross braces behind the rear seat tend to be broken at the top or bottom. When installed properly behind the rear seat, this 18 gauge steel divider will provide stiffness to the chassis. This divider can be bonded, screwed or welded into your car and will provide insulation from sound and temperature that seeps in from the trunk.
The metal divider mounts behind the rear seat from the inside of the car, so it does not conflict with the factory braces.
Don talks about this divider in our video below on suspension and chassis upgrades.
