Hello,

I saw a 1965 bus for sale. The "wall" behind the front seats is missing. It was probably cut out for a sort of camper setup. I can weld easily but i could't find any replacement panel on the net. Do you know if this separation panel is reproduced?

Thanks

Yes, but it's the entire rectangular wall who is missing

Mostly they are not very cheap:

that seller's prices are almost always MUCH higher than others. You can find one, and if you do I would consider having them cut it up and save on shipping. Parts like this seem more available in the US than in Europe.

A many of bulkheads were cut out to make room for American bucket seats.

I found a bulkhead in Ohio from a Samba ad.

It is not reproduced AFAIK.
you might try a wanted ad on the samba or on a VW site frequented by people near where you live.

There are variations, this thread discusses them:

Nice that the lower area is now reproed.

That style would not be correct for a 65 bus.

The OP needs a "full sun" bulkhead:
