Sprinter Factory E track

[piper1]

Don't know if this has been found before...

If you have a new Sprinter with the Factory E track here is a source for the tie downs that snap in this style of track.

Ancra products are available at most trailer jobbers.Kinedyne makes the smaller ring but having both, I vastly prefer the HD double stud type, no rattles when you arent using them so you can leave them in the rails.

6 of each and I was only 50 bucks.

Not that anyone is likely to get them confused, but airline track, which is probably what most people call it, is actually L-track.

You can use the o-ring fittings or pear-ring fittings for tie-downs, or you can get ratchet straps with L-track fittings in each end. You can even get ratchet straps with both E-track and L-track fittings on each end for those who need both types.

U.S. Cargo Control has 'em.

When I got my first van I scoped out all the available securement options, and went with E-track simply because it was easier to find fittings and straps at most truck stops, but I almost went with L-track. L-track is popular with many van conversions, especially for wheel chair securement. Buses use it for seats and wheel chairs, too. Airlines, of course, use them for seats, as do many houseboats for the pilot seats. Many large and small aircraft use it for cargo securement, expcially the smaller air expedited planes.

Some trailers have L-track in them instead of E-track. There's a trailer manufacturer near my house (horse and utility trailers) who makes trailers with either one you want, or both if you like.
