Cargo barrier: LR/Milford/Haymen?

I know this is an old thread, but could anyone by chance send me a couple pics of their autosafe cargo barrier?

Cheers

This has a bladder tank installed onto the barrier (bladder tanks NOT recommended); you can see the securing struts on top as well as on either side below the bladder onto the front factory tie down points.

I just picked up a Hayman Reese CB from Gumtree in Sydney, $22 for delivery to Melbourne via E-go and $100 for the barrier [bigsmile1].
Just got to find the instructions but does look similar to the Milford CB which i do have the instructions for.

So i am missing a couple of fittings that are not removable once fitted, emailed HR and got a reply saying they only sell complete and separate parts not available :2up:.
Not a big issue just means i need to make a couple of threaded fittings.

You aren't the first and won't be the last to be caught like that.

As an aside, I saw a recent John Cadogen video saying cargo barriers are unnecessary. Search under Youtube Autoexpert. I won't link to it as it's probably got bad language in it.

He's right - in most cases. However, for an off-roader I think it's a different issue.

Milford parts are readily available, I would not want to hit something fully loaded without a barrier so his view is pretty stupid.

Some scrap metal, 2 nuts and 10 mins later we have a couple of mounting brackets, all fitted up nicely except the templates for the holes in the rear plastic trim were out by about 5mm.

A small object weighing 2kg in a 30g deceleration accident becomes a 60kg article. If you’re unlikely enough that it flies into your head, you’re going to be in a world of death. Admittedly a variety of circumstances conspire for that object at floor height to become airborne, but the risk is real.

I don’t have one, but I also try not carry loose object of any significant weight in the rear, preferring to store elsewhere in the camper or in the roof box. I put all the bedding and soft bags in the rear when we travel.

For that average hatchback carting the shopping he's most likely correct. For a 4wd with gear stacked to the ceiling thats another matter. I dont have one, it would probably take up what little storage space I have behind the 3rd row of seats anyway :)
