How do you fit this Guard ?

Interesting project if you have a very small thin dog to carry in your TR7 [:D]

I don't recall seeing a rear hatch on my 7.

Perhaps it was has been at the painters too long, I've forgotten what it looks like.

Wow, a company who have made a dog guard for Mike Collin's Tracer estate!
Now that what I call exclusive!

Cheers

You're right Ian. Shouldn't we send Mike a message about this?

That ebay insert looks nothing like a 7 I've ever seen.

This reminds me of my time working in Denmark in the late noughties. Denmark has such a high import tax on cars (no danish car industry) that Danes were removing the boots from luxury sports cars and importing them as light comercial vehicles.

Image

I saw a number of Porsche 928 & 944 "pickups" around Copenhagen and many more Range Rovers and Porsche Cayennes converted to commercial vehicles. The 4x4's had their rear seats removed, metal guards behind the driver's seats and a flat floor installed effectively making them 2 seater vans. They had different coloured number plates identifying them as commercial or semi-commercial vehicles.

The legislation was being changed to remove the loophole as I was moving back to the UK.

Do you have to clip up the safety belt to stop your dashboard lights / buzzers going off?

I had the out-laws alsatian in my car once and his movement kept flashing the dash light.

No, because the seat sensors are long gone on my car.

Probably gone the same way as the sponge foam in my sun visors - dust.

It does make you laugh when sellers put down any car name in the hope of selling the items that they have.
