Modify Sys Minis to stay in place in Systainer 3 Rack?

[NewWoodWorkerVA]

I have two Sys minis (From Shaper).  Has anybody done any mods on these or 3d printed something to glue on so they stay in place in the Systainer 3 rack?  Looks like the Sys S (gen 3) have angled feet that let them stay in place in the Rack "garage".  Wondering if I can mod my Sys mini's to stay in place (the sort of press down, but I'm concerned it won't hold and they'll get projectiiled-out of the Rack).

When the SYS3 S76 "minis" came out, one the guys at Woodcraft was telling me that the T-Loc Minis would work in the rack but there was something you had to file (or something like that) to make it work. Since I didn't have any T-Loc Minis, I didn't give it that much attention.

I have the SYS 3 S and the Mini Systainers. The feet are a different design but in my experience the old design needed no modification for the SYS 3 RACK. Maybe if it was in a truck bouncing around but just me carrying the SYS 3 RACK they stayed put just fine. I can maybe do some more aggressive testing to see how secure the old generation really is if you want.

As @jronman mentioned, if used as a stationary storage rack, the older MINI-Systainer T-LOC fit in and LIGHTLY lock-in. I'm sure for mobile applications it won't be optimum, but for stationary storage it's fine.

I don't have the rack, so I haven't had the need to do the mods. But looking at Cheese's pics and these pics, you can see that the feet are different. If you were to modify the T-Loc feet to match the notch, then the T-Loc should lock into the rack.

I think others have used a Dremel with cutting wheel but have also experienced melting, so you'll want to watch the speed and length of time the wheel is on the plastic. Or perhaps cut the feet off entirely and 3D print new feet?

Or just make SysTim happy and replace all the T-Locs with Sys3!
