Thread: D4 Forward Tie down points now gone with Autosafe half cargo barrier

Hlaf Barrier Tie Down.jpg
I also fitted an Autosafe Half barrier, purchased 2nd hand, without the fastening straps for the lower connection point. In the photo, you can see I made this strap and attached it to the tie down point. The tie down loop is permanently upright, but I can't see this being a problem.

Very inconvenient. The Original strap does not not reach to the tie down point either. When I made the replacement, I avoided the Z bracket entirely and made the strap long enough to reach the tie down point. By doing this I retained the tie-down loop functionality.

the lower mounts for my Hayman Reese CB are similar to these and i'll need to make new ones as they will now interfere with my drawer setup. Looks like a trip to bunnings for some gal strap and bend it up in the vice.
