Thread: Land Rover Cargo Barrier

I welded a nut to a plate and tech screwed that in place, like a crude rivnut alternative.

It is called a captive nut.
I will post a photo of the part on Sunday.
best. Jeffoir.

I managed to get the Autosafe barrier installed today. I wrapped an M10 'whiz' nut with thin coat hanger wire very tightly (twisted on with pliers) and managed to guide the nut over the required hole, with the bracket taped to the head lining, and carefully started the bolt through the bracket, head lining, body sheet metal and finally into the 'tethered' nut. To my surprise this worked and I was able to tighten the bolt down and wiggle the wire off the bolt.

Thanks for the replies. I'm very happy with the result. I have Tuffant wheels piled into the back ready for fresh rubber tomorrow.

Two tips. 1. Do the final tightening of the barrier with the 2nd row seats up (else you may find the barrier prevents the seat back locking up). 2. You can retain the 2 forward tie downs and original bolts where the lower supports bolt to the floor - just cut off the small tab that orients the tie down and install the bracket under the tie down.

Scott, I am interested in the Auto safe barrier. Does the frame below the barrier extend vertically to the floor or does it follow the angle of the rear seats?

It follows the angle of the seats quite closely. I adjusted the fore/aft position of the frame with the seats up and the frame touching the back of the seats. Here are some pics.
