DIN rail used as boot brace. With boot lights added. Works for me.

They are locked in with some kind of thread seal. Application of the hot air heat gun softens it nicely allowing them to be easliy unscrewed.
I made up some new ones from some chopped down bolts and fitted them with Loctite.
This made the whole job of fitting the brace a lot less hassle.
The lights, by the way, light the boot nicely and look like they have alwys been there. Can't be seen at all unless you stick your head right in the boot.
