I remember those. I too wanted one. White plastic. I think whoever made them used white plastic cutting boards and sawed and drilled them. I had one in my hands once and didn't buy it. Fool. Well, broke at the time. Them were the days.

I don’t have a multi-pak mostly because finding one here is Oz (240V) for a 
reasonable price is about as rare as seeing a UFO. I saw something once I 
couldn't identify so there may be hope yet :)

But for those who do, there was a plate I saw advertised once in Rainbow (I 
think) that went around the two right CoCo feet and the feet of the 
mutli-pak so the two can't be pulled apart without lifting them. Picture a 
plate with 6 holes lineed up with those feet. Something similar made from 
Masonite or 3mm MDF if done right could be easier to make than a steel plate 
to reduce the risk. Or if someone has access to a plasma cutter, maybe a 
product they could offer.

Again, just putting it out there should someone be able to make use of it. 
Though I'm sure many would be aware of it or come up with an alternate 
solution.
