d2 factory cargo anchor points?

**MSkinner** · 14th June 2015, 08:27 AM

I've searched and searched and not come up with the photo I'm looking for.

Anyone got a photo of the D2 cargo area without the carpet? I'm looking to make a simple (single sheet of 17mm ply, recessed mounting holes, carpeted) sub-floor to secure the fridge slide to. Trying to figure out what points to secure it to is proving the hardest. There are the four factory tie down points (size? 8mm?) however these are at the outermost edge of the cargo area. I notice there are two other points under the rear seats (m8? m10? 14mm I think) but are these body mounts? In which case I wouldn't go putting a sheet of ply between them.

Any photos that would assist me would be very much appreciated.

AFAIK there are no others than the 4 in the corners.

I have a ply false floor, anchored by the four points, and yes when empty it tends to rise a bit in the middle.

I have placed a piece of 25x25MM angle iron across the front , to use as a tie down for stuff in the back seat and it also acts as an anchor for the floor.
You could do the same across the back.

I have used large washers on all tie down bolts for the fridge slide etc under the floor.

Cheers Phil. Did you remove the carpet in order to mark the holes in the ply for the four screws? Don't suppose you recall what size the screws are?

They are M8.

If you put the ply in place in the back, you can then mark the ply from under the Disco through the captive nuts. That's how I did mine.

I think the ones under the seat would be the anchor points for the seat.I gust used the 4 points with angle iron across them if you dont want ply

Where are the anchor points for the baby seat? Could you use these if you knew where they were?

They're on the back of the seat, about 250mm up from the floor.
