Items in the photo are all easily removable or arranged in a different order or location on the track. Though I don't have a photo available, I also put one of the sail track cars with the fixed cleats on the jib track on the cabin top to function as a midship cleat.

On the J24 our Juy sailing class used, one of the cabin top jib tracks tore out and bent half the track to 90 degrees vertical, a wee bit over tensioned. That video makes that out to be a fairly expensive error, yikes, wasn't me!
