Don't have the instructions anymore, but its pretty simple. You just have to pull off the trim, drill out two existing holes then feed a captive nut on a stick up through another existing hole to line up with the enlarged holes, then bolt the arms on.

Can anyone describe the difference between the LR dog barrier and cargo barrier please?
I'm about to go buy what is meant to be a LR Discovery 3/4 cargo barrier 2nd hand and just need to make sure I don't end up with the dog barrier. Or else my 80kg dog will probably end up going straight through it...
Trying to google search but it's showing up all kinds barriers. What I thought would be the cargo barrier is showing up under dog guard and with all the confusion over part numbers it seems impossible to distinguish what's what.

Also is the D3's the same as the D4's?? Because the ads claiming they are...
Cheers
Anything from the UK is just a dog barrier,ok if you are into toy breeds,wont hold a real dog in a prang.
The aussie ones are cargo barriers and must meet ADR rules.
Look up Milford,they are a reputed Aussie manufacturer.Theirs are strong,they will act like a roll bar in a roll over.Im sure they have pics on their website.
There are harnesses where you can strap fido safely into a chair,look into them as you have a 7 seater??? Fido can live outback on a leather chair and be safe in event of another roo strike and not become a missile in the cab injuringhimself on the cargo barrier.Could be a cheaper way too;););););)

I like your thinking Andy but he's a slobery giant, close to 6 feet long. Can't get him into the back seats even at access height or past them if they're folded up lol. He will only fit in the back. I found a LR one for $300 up the road from me! Just called and they seem to know the difference between the two so should be ok...
It's mostly to keep the slobber off the back seats and contained to the rubber mat more than anything else as there's no way he could possibly fit past the seats anyway!
Don't worry, the LR dog guard is really good and easy to install, no drilling!Quote:

IIRC the LR Cargo Barriers were rebranded Hayman Reece? The dog barriers aren't rated but they're made out of similar gauge/diameter materials as the CGs so are far from flimsy.

PLACE THE CARGO BARRIER IN THE VEHICLE WITH THE MESH TO THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE.
ALLWAYS CHECK FOR FUEL LINES ETC BEFORE DRILLING AND ALWAYS USE A DRILL STOP.
TOP: (See Image). Remove the plastic trim above the tailgate. Locate the two trim plugs at 400mm centres. Remove these two trim plugs and drill the existing trim plug holes out to 10mm. Secure the 150mm bent bracket into the holes that you have just drilled out using an M10x20mm set screw and tighten into the plate on wire which needs to be inserted into the cavity through the nearby holes beside the mounting holes. Then you can either cut off the wire from the plate that is protruding out or otherwise fold it so it sits in between the 2 skins. Then replace the plastic trim. Attach one end of the 525mm straight bracket to the end of the 150mm bent bracket (protruding out between headlining and plastic trim), using an M10x20mm set screw and an M10 whiz nut. Secure other end of the 525mm straight bracket to the top tag on the Cargo Barrier using an M10x20mm set screw and an M10 whiz nut.
BASE: Locate the two luggage tie down points closest to the Cargo Barrier (beside the wheel arch). Remove the two tie down points and secure a 29 Z bracket into the M8 captive using an M8x25mm bolt and an M8x20mm washer. Secure one end of the 275mm straight bracket to the 29 Z bracket using an M10x20mm set screw and an M10 whiz nut. Secure the other end of the 275mm straight bracket to the base tag on the Cargo Barrier using an M10x20mm set screw and an M10 whiz nut.
CHECK OVER FIXINGS SYSTEMATICALY TO MAKE SURE THEY ARE ALL TIGHT.
I have just installed an autosafe half mesh cargo barrier with my rear drawers. Looks a quality product. Was an easy installation except for locating the screws into to the plates attached to wires. Did no one else have issues with this?
Yep. That wasn't easy - a small torch (and your wife or son) helps, which you shine in from one of the other access points.
Also, it's not easy to locate where the trim plug drill point is - Make sure the 150mm bent bracket extends 30 to 40mm beyond the plastic trim, then your have to pull the trim plug out, cut through the trim and drill out to 10mm.
