"Dogleg" bend in bulkhead?

[lake_harley]

I hope I can describe this well enough to understand. "Typical" bulkhead, stressed skin, aircraft construction....Would it be a issue if a bulkhead had a "dogleg" bend, about 25 degrees, where the bend is on the horizontal plane. The top 40% of the bulkhead would be leaned back and serve as the top portion of a slanted seatback, but the lower 60% would be vertical to pick up a rear spar location. Behind the bulkhead is the tailcone (skin riveted to bulkhead 360 degrees), and forward of the lower 60% is the cockpit "tub" (again, riveted to the bulkhead). The bulkhead would miss the rear spar location and require another partial bulkhead if the full bulkhead had to be slanted to the same 25 degree angle, and the pilot would be pushed forward a couple inches if the entire bulkhead were vertical.

Thanks, in advance.
