A rear bulkhead 102 for a survival cell of a motor vehicle defines a main wall 106 configured to separate a passenger compartment from a rear cargo compartment and comprises at least one inclined skirt 112A, 112B at a periphery of bulkhead 102. Skirt 112A, 112B extends at an inclination angle θ to the main wall and resiliently deforms during installation of bulkhead 102, increasing inclination angle θ when compressed between main wall 106 and an internal wall of the motor vehicle. Preferably, inclined skirts 112A, 112B are provided on left, right and upper edges of bulkhead.102. The inclination angle may be between 20 and 70 degrees, for example 45 degrees. The bulkhead may be of sheet steel, and may comprise a unitary panel or a plurality of panels. A vehicle and installation method are also provided.
