ronnie_rotten Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 I've been looking at dog guards on ebay, are there specific fittings fitted to the car that need to be in place to attach a guard, or are they standard accross all models/specs etc? If I buy a second hand item am I then going to have to shell out for a fitting kit (not collecting my d2 til Friday, so can't check if there's anything there already) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
honitonhobbit Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Fitting kit is very simple and usually comes with the dog guard even the genuine one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronnie_rotten Posted January 6, 2016 Author Share Posted January 6, 2016 I've just looked at a couple of new ones on a Craddocks, yes it looks straight forward enough. None of the used ones on ebay have the plastic fittings so I'll have to make sure the motor has them already attached before buying one of them.

honitonhobbit Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Yup - but remember there are all sorts of different types I can't post pictures on here but I'll try and describe the one in my wife's D2 later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronnie_rotten Posted January 6, 2016 Author Share Posted January 6, 2016 Cheers HH. This is the one I'm looking at anyway. Looks like gutter bolts will do for the bottom assuming there's something to receive them, not sure about the top bracket mounts... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bear Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Hi Ronnie, Have a look at this link for fixing info.

honitonhobbit Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 I didn't get to take piccies - sorry. Mrs Hobbit was on earlies so the D2 was away allday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronnie_rotten Posted January 11, 2016 Author Share Posted January 11, 2016 Thanks bear, the disco I bought doesn't have those bits to take a guard, but there are signs that one was fitted previously. Don't worry HH,I'm having to consider the possibility that I fix the 'donk' noise before attaching more bits to the motor! Expect to see one of my typically needy 'watts linkage' or other suspension bush related post on the forum soon!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
honitonhobbit Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 I will get around to it. I saw her this morning - albeit she was asleep. Earlies onto Lates, then onto nights. But when she's working nights I do see her for about 2 hours when I get home - so that means I will have time to photograph her vehicle!

If and when you get chance, I'd appreciate it, but no rush! I can see where something has been attached previously in front of the 3rd row seats, so I expect that was the mountings for a dog guard, now sadly absent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
