 I've seen them on ebay from time to time for about £95.
 Or failing that, use a short metal gate. It may not look as tidy or fit as well, but it doesn't have to close at right angles to the trailer sides - it still does the job if it ends up going slightly diagonal across the trailer.

I'm after one of these too, but I plan on making my own. My trailer top has little white plastic cones that the division is supposed to locate into. I reckon that if I make up a sheep hurdle type panel, sized to fit the space, I'll be able to secure it into the plastic locators using one or two of these spring loaded bolts:


Could be worth considering if you can't find one to buy at a reasonable price?

Only a day and a half to go on this and it is starting at only £15!

Entirely possible.  I picked up a pair of almost mint sheep divisions for a DP120 for £30 exc VAT.
