Default Wheel Stop & tire tie down for E-track

I'm looking for a piece already made before I try to cobble something together.

I've got e-track on the floor for my enclosed trailer -- I would like to find a stop that I can click in place for when I load the car -- it will hit the stop.

I found the E-Chuck -- which is nice -- but I think it will be way too tall to clear my splitter.

I'm also considering tire tie downs for my front wheels -- but I haven't found good enough pictures to know how this works and if its really practical for low ground clearance cars (i.e. SPB).

My rear has built in tie downs, so I'm good there.

thanks,

Mike

At PRI last year there were 2 manufactures that had exactly what you're after. Let me look through my notes when I get home. There were also airline track models coming too.

I like Matt's suggestion -- I may order a pair of those!

This isn't a great photo, but I use the E-Track idlers to make tying the front wheels down a little easier. I still use D-rings at the rear.

That helps a lot actually.
