Yes there is an ADR regarding Cargo Barriers. They must go through a "drop test" that involves dropping a weight (can't remember how much) from a height of four or five metres and then they must only deform to a certain limit.

This ADR applies to manufacturers of CB's (which we are not). Whether or not you are breaking any laws fitting a home made job I'm not qualified to answer.

Cheers,

Jim.

If you could fond the time to take a couple of shots and email them to me I will have a better idea of what to look for. A picture is worth a thousand words

Jim I can do this in the next few days as my 08 Defender is completely empty in the rear - apart from a few buckets of dust - at present.

Thanks, that would be wonderful.

derek didn't you say your cargo barrier was mounted different to the milford ones? if it is perhaps we can get the other puma member that has had one fitted recently to give pics also...can't remember his name though I would need to go search for his post

Hmmm... good point. I'll get some pic's of mine tomorrow, this afternoon was a right-off - first day back at work - and at home still going through mail and all the other stuff as well as unpacking and stowing

I think someone should get the Milford pic's in a Puma as well if they can. I can do it for a Tdi.

looks like i didnt do a bad job after all...



cheers

Disco Driver,

I've done a measure and an Engel 40 is about 50mm too long unfortunately. If you don't carry passengers and can fold the middle row of seats forward it certainly can be done.

Cheers,

Jim.

won't be able to fold the back seats only because I usualy take the dggies in the back seats and/or passengers & rear parcel shelf is full of gear.
