Hook mine onto the roof rack

But I suppose if you could modify the spare wheel carrier, they could be mounted onto it.

Just thinking off the top of my head, if you could drill where the blank holes on the spare wheel are against the wheel carrier, and mount nuts onto inside of the carrier then fabricate a support plate bolting through these nuts and mount off on there

Or depending on how long they are, two mountings across the top of the door and mount them horizontally

I thought waffle boards were heavy ... doesn't that make your dog guard wave around?

Bit messy if they are muddy though to put them back inside

They are sitting on three big bolts that go through the bottom of the
dog guard and then bungies hold them in place, So far so good and
no movment or horrible noises.

Haven't you got some extra mounts on the top of your dog guard to the roof area Paul?
One of your earlier Discos had them I'm sure.

I certainly remember us discussing the merits of adding an pair or more of L shaped brackets in front of the dog guard to stop it from moving forward in a quick stop situation :)

It might have been on the one you got off Alan. I can't keep up with all the names :)

Didn't have a dog guard in 'Buzz' (Alan's)

Might of been the 300dti 'Scooby' I fitted a high-lift on the dog guard in that.

That might have been why it cropped up in the discussion. You didn't want Liam getting a hi lift in the back seat with him.
Although the hi lift was mounted on the floor folks and vertical not horizontal.

To infinity and beyond..........

You may have to shorten them a wee bit but what about fixing to the inside of the rear door, either with bolts coming through from the door frame or getting a couple of D44 holders fitted.
