G'day All,
I wanted a cargo barrier but didn't want to pay $500-$600 for anew one and couldn't find a second handy for sale so I decided to modify one. Bought a barrier out of a later model Commodore (VT onwards) and modified it as per the pic's attached. Bottom mounts attach to 3rd row seat mounts so pretty solid. Currently attaching the top bracket to one of the grab rail bolts (plan is to weld an extension to the end of the bracket to attach to the second bolt for extra strength). It's pretty solid as it is, and I haven't needed to drill any big holes in the upper body work ( as per Milford spec's). Wasn't a big job - bit of cutting and shutting. All you need is a grinder and a welder. Happy to knock one up for anyone in the Adelaide area if interested.
I also added a mounting bracket for my 90A GSM battery. Sits neatly between the rear seat and barrier. Bolts to an existing floor weld nut. Mounted the battery on the drivers side to balance out the fridge on the passenger side.
