They would be ideal but very difficult to source... hence the "DIY" approach!

Available on Amazon:

Amazon.de : Pack of 4 | Screw Fitting for Airline Rail | M8 x 45 | 500 daN | Fitting | Lashing Rails | End Fitting | End Fittings

Amazon.de : Gripon L-Track Double Lug Threaded Stud Nut Fitting

Amazon.de : US Cargo Control L Track Threaded Bolt Double Stud Fitting, (10 Pack) 5,500 Pounds Break Strength, Use with L Track Rails in Your Truck Or Trailer to Create Heavy-Duty Bolt Down Anchor Points

Agreed and the coach bolts with the dome ground flat work very well

Seems odd to invest in half a system, the track and then not the designated fasteners ~ you loose elements of safety and functionality?

If you want T slot bolts ~ why not just buy them?

Tons of sources for them in multiple different configurations

Start by searching L-Track fittings on Amazon, also Google, there are a couple of US companies with a good range, but don’t know if they ship internationally. Can also find on eBay

I like to look at the best/strongest elements of what the track was designed for and then how it can be modified for a particular personal use. These bits in particular have a wealth of opportunities:

BraunAbility UK webshop | BraunAbility Europe

ukshop.braunability.eu

Seat fixtures for vehicles | BraunAbility Europe

Secure fixation of seats in vehicle floors

And there's a shop there for many others parts if people are struggling to find sellers.

I agree with your upright fridge thoughts DaveB. Just don't kick us in the shins too hard when our chest fridge/freezers have colder beers mate (have personally been using National Luna 50L Weekender f/f for a long time now, and seriously impressed. Now onto a 90L unit in the big rig).

How cold are your beers?
Only light lagers should be served at close to 0C
Who drinks them?

LOL mate, I haven't taken my infrared thermometer to them yet. I shall!
Lager, in the PacificNW of the USA, which is quite possibly the microbrew capital of the world? BLASPHEMY!
I hand them out to strangers, duh!

I may have a couple of craft beers in it but mostly some nice Tasmanian Pinto Gris and a bottle of spiced gin

Drink your beers before you drive.

It's then where it's supposed to be and doesn't occupy space in the fridge.

Errr, you mean drink your beers before you let your mate SAFELY drive you?

No in Germany the ability to drive improves after alcohol.

I am not drunk! Carry me to my car and I will drive you home!

I know you're both jesting, but not so funny when there are so many fatal accidents (involving innocent people) around here on our 2-lane highways from drinking and driving.

The 90 is a BIG fridge! We have a 72 NL twin that is used as a food fridge and that lasts us 2 weeks in the outback (mind you we do have a 52lt beer fridge in the back of the car) you have to keep them well ventilated otherwise they shut down.

If we didn't introduce, and accept, random breath testing we would have huge numbers of drunks killing people.
Now they do random drug testing as well which is even better.
This is just from one state and shows the immediate and ongoing impact of knowing that cops can stop you and test you anytime they want.
99% of the time the cops are friendly, have a joke with you and it holds you up for a couple of minutes.

A Platinum Commander?

Happy with it?
