Have just finished some
home made drawers which I am very happy with but the only problem is that it looks like I am going to struggle to get even a half height cargo barrier in both in terms of
the gap between the seats and the drawers and the height of the drawers themselves. Should have checked first I know but guess you live and learn (I am definitely no handyman!)
Does anyone have any recommendations or know of any specific
places in
Perth that do custom made ones? Have tried the majority of the usual suspects (ARB, TJM, Opposite Lock etc) without any luck. There was one place that said they would do it for $850 but am not sure whether this is reasonable or not and whether I should be making sure any custom barrier is rated?
Just wanted to
check out options before starting to butcher the drawers.
Cheers

Hi Darren,
Is the problem just that the mesh will get in the way? - I've modified cargo barriers for both a 90 and a 100 series and in both cases it was just a matter of fitting the full size barrier in a different position (ie, lengthen or shorten the support arms to suit), and by moving the RHS supports internal to the barrier, and cutting the mesh to suit..
You can see what I mean at Site Link
Some will advise not to do this because you will lose the 'rating' on the cargo barrier, but at the end of the day, the rating isn't required for anything - that is, it isn't required by your insurance company so that you can fit the barrier.....
