Thread: Fitting rear draws into a 2004 Discovery2

Why not remove the tie down loops and bolt into the nuts?

I thought of that But the tie downs are a smidgin over a metre so they are too far apart to do the job.
I had a bit of a scratch around and found these that will maybe suit the mounting rails on the draws.
I have NO idea what the ones at the front under that flap of carpet are for , Maybe body mounting bolts ?

I used 4x turnbuckles attached to the 2x rear sides of the drawers and 2x attached to the front end (behind the rear seats) and hooked those into the 4x D-Rings in the cargo area floor.

That sounds like a great idea, How did you attach the turnbuckles to the draw frame ?

Metal plate with a D-Ring bolted to the side of the drawer frame ... turnbuckles have a loop at one end and a hook at the other end (the bottom which hooks into the disco d-rings).

The draws won't arrive for another Month But I will head into Bunnings to see what I can find in the way of fixings and turnbuckles.
If I can't find anything suitable there I will have a squiz at a couple of the Marine stores that we have here in town.
I am liking your idea a LOT

These should give you a better idea .... left hand side. Front is same but is tucked in behind the rear seats.







You can just make out the right hand side in this one







Cheers

Nice looking setup, Thanks for the images.
Now I know what I will have to pick up tomorrow in the way of hardware
