Sliding cargo rails that use factory hold down fixings?

Looking at the back of the Puma 90 SW, the current 4x lashing eyes are great... when the thing you're tying down happens to fit between them.

I'd really like to install some sort of longer extruded rail that would allow me to move the lashing points. However I don't want to drill the tub - only to make use of the existing boltholes.

Has anyone done anything similar?

I was looking at something like this: https://www.4x4overlander.com/product/cargo-track-load-rings/

Not yet but I'm planning to fit something just like that.
BTW the cargo rail parts are a better price from Mud Stuff.

Theres loads of options if you buy direct from the load places.

I'm a big fan of cargo rail and have recessed lengths of it into a deck that I built to span the wheel arches in my USW. There are cheaper places than MUD for this sort of stuff, too.

The link posted by Lord Haggis is a great one and I note that they sell undrilled track, which would be ideal for what you want to do as you can drill the fixings to match the existing holes:

that's brilliant - thanks all. Great prices at those links and the undrilled idea is spot on.

LRA - I'm planning to shamelessly pinch ideas from your cargo deck, its a really nice bit of work.

Thanks. I'm planning a long sliding deck for the main store in our camping trailer and that undrilled rail will be ideal for that project, too. Darren

I've been faffing for ages with some rear storage in the double cab with it and for the horse box as well.
