Ford Transit Moto Van Build #5 : Installing L Track

[@Mrjglass213]

Great video! Plus nuts are way more secure than the riv nuts you used if you are planning on strapping heavy loads.

[@highlandcycles]

Good to know

[@keithmcqueen7666]

Where has L track been all my life??!! Good stuff.

[@highlandcycles]

I know. It is so cool! Not terribly expensive either. I think I paid just under $200 for 4 6' pieces shipped. They are super strong machined aluminum. You can get steel too.

If you look at the floor in air plains. Its what they have the seats bolted down with. I suspect the over head bins are done in the same way. You can buy it at northern tool as well. At least the one by me has a section. Way cooler than E-track. Throw a google and you will find plenty of stuff. Wait until you see 80/20 extruded aluminum. I did a lot of research in wanting to use it to a make a fence for my table saw. You can use L-track with that as well. Would make slick cabinets.

[@highlandcycles]

Heck yeah, it is awesome stuff

[@pjpace]

Well the stuff airlines use (and wheel chair upfitters like Smartrack) is much stronger aluminum. I wouldn't use the cheap L track for anything you don't want flying at your head if you get in an accident.

[@highlandcycles]

@@pjpace this isn’t the cheap stuff.

[@pjpace]

@@highlandcycles What you have might not be cheap, but I really doubt it's the same spec crash tested to keep things in place during an accident. It all looks and functions the same but the 'good stuff' is thicker. Just so people know to buy the right L track for the job they're doing.

[@highlandcycles]

@@pjpace good to know. I don’t know for sure what the spec is on this but it seems very heavy duty compared to some that I have seen. Before I buy anything that holds important stuff (ie big and heavy)down I’ll check into it more

Disco Ball!!

[@highlandcycles]

Just wait...

[@hoosiertrailrider]

Nice hauler.

[@highlandcycles]

Thanks.

[@nickduffy6594]

Did you use all exisiting holes in the van or drill new holes?

[@highlandcycles]

New holes

[@gordyc]

Where did you get the honey comb panels?

[@highlandcycles]

They are from Ford

[@RMACIAS2460]

Thx👍🏽🇺🇸🇲🇽

[@anthonymiller5043]

What are you gonna do with the floppy plastic since you cut it out?

[@highlandcycles]

Are you talking about the part below the track? Right now it is surprisingly still pretty stiff and not moving but I am planning on a few more rivet nuts and some cool red washers that I have to hold it in place. I will have an update when I get there.

[@anthonymiller5043]

@@highlandcycles after watching your vids I’m gonna have to pick up one of those rivet nut tools now, haha!
