DIY Leitner Cargo Rings

[Stingray Max Tow]

I wanted a bunch of cargo rings for my beloved Leitner rack system, but not at $10 a pop. Pics have a first coat of black spray paint.
I made 10 of these for $27 (I had the stainless washers from another project). I stuck with M8 which is what Leitner uses for most of the other fasteners. They work not only on the rails on the bed, but also the upper rails.

These are the T-nuts:
Binzzo T Nuts Tee Sliding Slot Nuts 40 Series M8 Threaded Slide in Pre-Assembly for 40x40 Aluminum Extrusions Frame with Profile 4040 Sereis 8mm Slot
T Nuts
The Leitner aluminum extrusions are actually 5050 (50mm x 50mm) but the 4040 slot nuts work fine.

These are the Rings:
Yasorn 5pcs M8/0.32" Lifting Ring Eye Bolt Stainless Steel Screw Bolt
Rings
Note: the bolt on the rings is about 1/8" to long. 5 minutes with an angle grinder brought all 10 them to the right size, but if you can find them with a shorter bolt, get it.
