Child seat anchor points

[oddkid82]

Hey guys I am just wondering what you have done with the anchor points in the back after your draws have gone in.

I am in the process of designing my draw system and fridge slide but have no idea how to move the anchor point.
Any ideas would be great

Would you utilise the seatbelt Stalk bolt hole,
Nah would need to see what you're doing
I'd check under flooring as most floor plans are for Right and Left hand drive.
You may find a ship load of captive nuts there

We are getting a crab bar fitted to our GU. It's a child restraint anchor bar, in a GU it bolts to the sides of the cargo area where the two little square trim bits are. I need it because we want three anchor points for the middle row of seats. I like it because it brings the anchor points up to the level of the top of the seats so no straps going to the floor and the straps for the middle seat can't slip down the split in seat back.

I finished my draws just behind the anchor points, but continued top self right threw to the seats. Then drilled a large hole in the top self so the straps don't touch, and placed my cargo barrier just behind that.
My draws are 900 long and top is 1100.. And I have a nice little storage area for things like water tank, toilet paper, and the non essentials.
Here is my build.

My draws are double stack of 600mm high so just made them only 800mm long which sits flush with cargo barrier. This means they are just shorter then the anchor points so these are still available to use. Ill grab some photos of anchor points tonight but below is the draws. On second photo you can see where I made a cutout out for them but this probably wasn't needed in the end. It means there is a dead space here but I think I will use this for water storage or something.

If I had to move the points would they have to be engineered?

X 2 With Kallen, yes they would have 2 be certified / engineered for it to be legal

G'day mate.
When you got your crab bar installed, did you get it engineered?
I can't seem to find anywhere willing to do this mod for me then engineer it

The place that installed the crab bar in my GU also provided the certifiation for it and fitted a mod plate to the vehicle. That was in WA, i would've thought there would be places elsewhere that do the same. It wasn't cheap but it suited my needs at the time.

I found a bloke in Melbourne that installs and engineers them - around $500 from memory. I'll try and grab his details for you tonight when I get home

I couldn't buy a CRA bar and do it myself anyway. They would not sell it to me. I got mine through opposite lock for $330 fitted and certified as they are licensed to fit about 18 months ago. In a GU not GQ.
