I think ( could be wrong) the interface plates are all the same.i bought the same set off eBay and have no complaints... they allow me to use all the etrack accessories I want. I have no use for the cleats how ever since there a bit redundant with all the options the interface plates provide. 50$ US is alot cheaper than any of my local dealers wanted for the set.

Any idea what the capacity of these interface plates/cleats are? Or any of the tie down locations for that matter? I want to install some of these but want sure if they were light duty only since they are mounted to aluminum. I'll be securing dirt bikes and other similar toys.

I forget the exact # but somewheres in the way of 300lbs a pice and 600lbs depending on how you use them. There mounted to a " reinforced" ares of the box. I don't know about the cleats..I don't own or use them. I just use estraps.

Since posting I discovered a thread about the e-track system. I'll probably buy the interface plate and skip the cleats.

What do you use it for? I have the etrack but don't have the cleats, kinda wish i did. I only need 2 though and I can't stomach buying all 4.

When moving any thing I like being able to put things like a freezer against an estraps instead of the front wall of the box. I use my estraps for almost everything that needs to be secured in the bed. The interface plates also have a small hole so you could anchor a regular ratchet strap
