Securing Items in the Load Bay

[Marquis]

Hi. I have bought a 2016 Tekna. How do I secure things in the load bay. There are some tapped threaded holes in the bay on the sides. An M8 bolt fits the thread. Is there a kit I can purchase? I have posted a picture of the threaded holes, which are in many places on the load bay.

Many Thanks in Anticipation.

Can you find an eye bolt with the M8 thread? These are like $1.50 from Bunnings, M8 threaded and rated to 140kg.

Tms40. Yes I can get them from the hardware store. Thank you.

@Marquis how many pairs of these holes are available around the inside of your tub?
if there is another pair of these holes- so a couple at say the front and back of the sides of the tub? you could retrofit the rails that the d40 used for the cargo tiedowns

Thanks Manning. There are 4 pairs 2 pairs on each side, and a row of single ones on the back of the load bay. Where do I get the rails and the clamps/cleats? See pics:

No problem mate, I'm not sure where in the world you are so cant give you any direct location based ideas.
Nissan obviously would be able to get them - dont think you'd want to take out a second mortgage to pay them tho.
i had a quick search on gumtree throughout Australia. there was a couple different options available for a price that was more affordsble. facebook marketplace or ebay?
another option ( depending on budget time or storage space) if you can't just buy them off of it, is to buu a whole second hand tub from a d40?
i found one around Sydney for$300 negotiable. it had the three sides, two floor rails and the 6 cleats..
the beauty with this setup is that it's completely adjustable to roping down the load your moving
