They are not legal (certifiable).
Maybe not, probably because a certifier could not respectively charge a large some of money for there to be no change and to use what is already there.Quote:

If you could find an honest certifier i'm sure he would approve them, unless someone knows something I don't know or I have not taken into consideration. :)
Hi,
Having the same issues now with my defender here in Sydney so far quotes range from $2500 ( striping and reinforcing seats and mounting restrain point on seat similar to most factory installations) and around 2k including a cargo barrier and putting a big bar in the back.
Will call Gordon from Opposit Lock today and see what he can come up with.
Cheers
Steve

Just thought I would update this thread.
We took forum advice and went to Comptune Engineering.(Sydney)
Really great guys to deal with.
Their workshop is opposite a LR dealership so they have this conversion down to a fine art.
x3 anchor points installed with engineers certificate.
This took them about 6 hours and cost us $900.
Best deal we could find.
Thanks for the advice. "
I had these done as well. Looks like a OME fitting and comes with engineer certificate all for $900.
Don't go the ugly crab bar option. Yuk.

Hi,
I went through this recently re two pumas and was disgusted at the prices for relatively little work--in the end had my local RMS approved engineer in Sth Windsor do one in each car at $450 each as I only wanted one/car--others insisted they must do three--why? Most of that cost was for the certificate anyway.
Brilliant thanks for the info!
