Unwin cargo rails fitted.
After getting tired of everything in the back rolling around I decided to fit some cargo rails at the weekend.
Unwin seemed a good choice and are widely available.
You can then get the cargo loops that will fit anywhere on the rail.
There is also a rubber cover that slots in when they are not in use to stop anything catching in the rail.
The only down side is you have to drill a few more holes in the floor but not the end of the world.
I drilled mine straight through the floor mat and will trim the bolts underneath when I get chance.

Same style of tracking used in our Ambulances, it takes a good beating and lasts for years. I've only ever seen it wear out on one vehicle - the mechanic just turned it round and put the worn end at the front of the saloon and put the unused end at the back of the vehicle where all the chairs etc get clamped to. If you need that sort of thing it will serve you well. Just make sure there are no wee stones etc in the track or your clamps etc won't go in.

The bolts were M8 x 75mm with counter sunk heads to fit the rail.
They are too long for just bolting through the floor but are just right when you have to go through a a strengthener.
I bought the bolts with the rail as a kit.
The rails and bolts were about £60 and the fixing rings an extra £20. Defender Td5 Commercial 2002
