CANADIAN CUSTOMER: Due to the Canada Postal Service strike, we recommend choosing DHL Express.
Note: UPS Mail Innovations is delivered by the post office and Canadian deliveries will be affected by the strike.

International Customers

Due to some ongoing challenges with the software we use to generate customs data and print shipping labels for international orders,
orders may take upto 7 days before we are able to generate the shipping label. If the order has USED item or items that need to be shipped from the supplier to us, it can take significantly longer.

Also be aware that even though we ship items with the proper documentation to show that duties and taxes are prepaid, some Postal Services are ignoring this and still charging these fees at delivery. If this occurs to you, please send us a copy of the receipt showing the tracking number with the fees paid and we can get the Duties/Taxes we charged to you refunded.

UK Customers / EU Customers

We are using a new shipping service where international shipments now include the Duties/Tax/Fees, so currently we can not offer USPS/Mail Innovations if the order is over 135GBP/150EUR, since USPS can not pay duties/taxes. If the order is less than 135GBP/150EUR, we can pay the taxes directly to the EU/UK and we can ship USPS/Mail Innovations*. All orders over 135GBP/150EUR have to ship UPS/DHL so we can use DDP to cover the Duties/Tax/Fees. This has allowed us to resume shipments of any value to the UK and EU.

TIP: You will likely be able to ship your order for less cost if you ship any items over 135GBP/150EUR on one order via UPS, then break the rest of the order up into orders of less than 135GBP/150EUR.

By breaking your orders up into less than 135GBP/150EUR:

you will avoid the import duties on those orders
less expensive shipping methods are available
you will avoid some UPS fees

Canadian Customers

We have worked with UPS to waive some of the brokerage fees. The rates shown now include all UPS fees. We have also added DHL, which offers lower cross boarder fees.

Our shipping provider has added Duties Prepaid options for US Postal Service options to Canada. This has allowed us to resume USPS shipments to Canada.

However, beware that this is a new process for the Post Office, so sometimes Canada Post shows the duties and taxes COD, when they are actually prepaid. If this happens, first inform Canada Post that the shipment was sent duties prepaid (DDP). If they still require you to pay the duties before delivery, please contact us.

Turkey Customers

The international shipping software we use requires that we pre-collect and pre-pay the duties and taxes. Because of recent changes to Turkey import laws, Turkey no longer supports this. Because of this you will need to use a shipping broker for us to ship items to you.

US Postal Service (USPS)

Our new international shipping system supports international shipments via USPS only if the order total (including shipping to most countries) is below the Duty/Tax De Minimis for your country (View De Minimis Chart).
Exceptions:
UK orders upto 135GBP
EU orders upto 150EUR

The US Postal Service (USPS) has suspended services to over a dozen countries (see complete list).
UPS Worldwide Services \ DHL Worldwide can still be delivered to these locations.

Description

NOTE: You can save on shipping costs by ordering our template (traced out on butcher paper) and cut your own.

New rear seat to trunk steel divider for your Mercury Cougar. We had this one made specifically for the Mercury Cougar and it is designed to replace the flimsy tar based cardboard factory divider.

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.

Quality part
Thick metal

Cons:

Takes some tweaking to install

While the car was dismantled I installed the Metal Rear Seat Divider and welded it in place. Gives great peace of mind knowing this metal rear seat divider is in place and provides protection from a rear end collision. This metal divider also strengthens the entire rear of the car. Great product and not too difficult to install.

This piece is definitely a good fit in the back of a '68 cougar. Fit perfectly and installed easily using the installation kit WCCC sells. The steel was actually a bit thicker than I thought it would be. Since it's bare steel I sprayed mine satin black before installing.

Was going to make this myself. Glad I didn't try. This steel divider is cut perfectly and fits perfectly. I'm so glad I searched to see if anyone made or had plans to make this. This was so much easier. I strongly recommend this for any Cougar owner.

Had to take out seat and interior panels

I have always been meaning to buy this and I finally did. The product was decently sturdy and fit well. I decided to not weld mine in because it would make it much harder in the future to change out rear shocks. So I used sheet metal screws to attach mine and then covered it in some adhesive sound deadening. Havent noticed too much of a stiffness difference in the car but then again mine is a cruiser. I did notice a sound difference though after installing and covering in sound deadening. Definitely reccomend installing.

PieroR Asked:

Need clarity to above question....What metal divider will fit a 67 Mustang coupe? Will it need any trimming/modifications? thanks

October 5, 2022 10:27 AM

Answer

WCCC Admin Answered:

That area of the car is different between the Cougar and Mustang. We had these custom cut to fit the Cougar and have never tried them in a Mustang, so we can not speak to what would need to be done to make these fit in the Mustang.

Question

Asked:

Hi, Will this fit a '67 Mustang convertible?

January 4, 2022 4:10 PM

Answer

WCCC Admin Answered:

Unfortunately, No. The convertible body structure is way too different. The 1969-70 Cougar ones can only fit the coupes because of the differences.

Question

Asked:

My divider is in the mail so I am guessing this question is premature, but, here it goes. When I install the divider will the factory bars that are currently in place need to be removed or will the plate go right on top?

WCCC Admin Answered:

We briefly talk about it in our suspension & chasis upgrade video: https://youtu.be/UgxL4xnTTZ4?t=719
