[Wanted] Commercial Floor
I now intend to remove my second row of seats and restore the floor.
Has anyone got the frame and/or floor for this please?
Thanks

There are the various parts of this set up stored in one of the garden sheds.
I will check I have it all before committing to actually having one available.
I doubt I will get chance to look the beginning of the week.
But will let you know as soon as I have time.

Thank you, I have located one but at the moment it is silly money, and I have made an offer.
Unless I post to the contrary, I'll be interested.

OK, I have been offered the main frame for the front section, the floor and the lower bulkhead.
The seller says that the 2 longer central support posts and the 2 outside support posts are missing.
From the diagram above it appears I do not need these.
Would I be right in thinking this?
Thanks

Sorry am I missing something, but what is the advantage of the commercial floor over putting a bit of ply over the folded seats?Discovery 4 GS 2009 Auto Stornoway Grey

Just folding the backrest doesn't give a 'flat' floor, and folding the whole lot over so it rests against the back of the front seats leaves a big hole.
I don't require the seats, but do a strong load bed.2011 Discovery 4 Commercial SDV6 (Gone)

Whilst the installation for change over to commercial is over engineered.
If I had a heavy item in the load space I would like the braces fitted to the lower section.
If it helps I will find the part numbers on the parts in my shed.Discovery commercial tdv6 auto 2013

Yes, it appears the missing parts are for bracing the lower bulkhead and the upper mesh which is not available anyway.
I have agreed to buy what he does have, and keep a look out for the lower braces.
Appreciate all those who have reponded to my questions.

I have the bulkhead but no upper struts or lower legs installed. Whilst it is very sturdy, I only have to hold back my sandwiches, flask and a shotgun or two
If I put anything of weight in the back I use the floor hooks to strap it down.
As discussed above, if you were to rely on this to restrain a heavy load (from coming forward), I suggest you have at least the lower legs in place. They are a bit of a pig to fit as they pick up fastenings down near the seat base but it is accessible with a long shaft socket arrangement.

chugga90, if you could find those part numbers it would help, or if you want to sell the lower bulkhead braces, or even the whole bulkhead with the mesh and all 4 braces......
Appreciated

Hope I'm not misunderstanding you but you have lowered the seats after folding the backrest ?
On the few occasions when the gaps near the headrest mattered, I've just used a bit of thin plywood to stop stuff falling through..
