Great job, by chance would you have a link to the track nuts thank you?

Is that a shaper CNC router in the background? That also explains why you choose the domino pattern as design
You can buy them everywhere here. Did not find what they are called in English. Search for
@bakepl Hi ! see you are in Bris. Try the "Nut&Bolt Factory" Deshon St Woolloongabba. 'caged nuts' are the item required. Also, serrated flanged M8 nuts ..$4 pack of 10 from Bunnings might also work...I'll have to check the "fit".
I might be misunderstanding here ...but I think the cage nut is the wrong way "up". If the only means of securing the nut into position is via the "wings" which compress to fit between the parallel edges of the slot, then under heavy braking/accident they are likely to deform and detach from the rail. I studied several illustrations on how to install a cage nut and it looks to me that the cage nut should be "upside down" from the illustration so that the edges of the nut are actually recessed under the parallel straight sections so that the bar has to deform in order for the cage nut to detach from the slot. If the nut is just sitting between the straight edges of the slot, held in place by the cage, then that is not really satisfactory. To test my theory, I installed a cage nut as illustrated, then inserted a bolt sufficiently for it to touch the rail floor and place slight pressure on the cage nut. I secured the rail in a vise. I then gave the bolt a 'medium' "wack" diagonal to the direction of the rail with a 300mm length of 50mm x50mm wood. The nut and bolt popped out of the rail. The nut was too thick to mount upside down. A better approach might be the rectangular nuts which are used in cross bars...

"Sorry"!
Ok !! ExcellentThanks for your concern.
I am using them for the first time, so might be wrong here, but put it the way how all images online tell me to.
Will check again though.
But to be honest. This thing is going nowhere, even without fixing it.
. My apologies!! The later images show a flange securely under the recess sides of the bar! That's what I couldn't see in the original. your nuts have rounded flanges as they should , mine are plain square
Looks great.
Perfect thanks. Knowing the measurements gives me options to either transfer my current drawers (as I know they'll now fit) or make new ones. You have the station wagon and not the 5 seat utility wagon?

Magnificent work @das mo Your attention to detail on the picnic table with the contrasting colours is first class!
Nah. As mentioned that is not mine. The company making it is Ex-Tec. It was at display in the Abenteuer 4x4 booth.Magnificent work @das mo Your attention to detail on the picnic table with the contrasting colours is first class!
Ah! damn...too much red wine on a Saturday evening ...well I'm sure yours will be of equal quality... good excuse to purchase a sheet metal bender!
That is a pretty nice setup though. Again, 650€ is pretty steep but f the quality is there it could be money well spent.
