I wanted to post this here for posterity. I have a universal Pioneer platform and love it. One of the best features is the super versatile t-slots for mounting, one of the worst is the insane prices Rhino charges for accessories.
Playing with dabbing various brackets, I found that standard nuts from 1-5/8" unistrut work perfectly in the slots. They provide an excellent, large bearing surface for heavy loads, come in both zinc steel and stainless, offer various thread sizes, and cost about $1 each. I found them at the local electrical supply (Platt) and also on McMaster.
Here's a link to one with a 1/4-20 hole in it, but there are a ton of materials and hole sizes.

I've successfully mounted a few quick fists and some brackets for jerry cans. This weekend will add my chainsaw bracket. I'll take some pics and update this post to prove how well this works.
