baggage area tie downs
Has anyone installed tie downs in the baggage area? If so, what type of connectors and where were they installed.
Thanks,
Gary

I used aluminum angle to make tiedowns that were riveted to the baggage floor/ribs:
Slits were cut in the carpet so the "ears" protrude and I can hook bungees to them.

I used..
the ones Vans sells. They are easy to install and they allow you to remove the ring assembly if you need to. They are also sturdy enough to tie up any loose ship you might come across!
Cheers

Lots of choices, but I think I like the ones Sam made best of all for my use.

How are these installed after the baggage area is sealed up?
I see them here: http://www.vansaircraft.com/cgi-bin/...oduct=tie-down
with bolts and nyloc nuts... but where would you be able to bolt these? I saw a mention of rivnuts on some other thread. Is this the way to go?
