Default Retro fit crotch belt

I have a rv6a that I'm rebuilding .Interior and floor boards are out , so I thought now would be a good time to add a crotch strap.
Is it possible to retro fit and what parts do I need (can't find any mention in the plans) and proper placement and/or comments would help.
Bob

Default Hooker Crotchstrap-RV-6A

I installed Hookers in my 6A. I bought the 7 crotchstrap kit but did not use it. I used 5/8 inch high strength bolts and two large steel washers per rib. I pre-drilled the washers (used as strengthening doublers) so I could pop rivet them on either side of the ribs similar to the fuel drain fittings on your wing tanks.

Remember,all this work is done via 90 degree drill and between some narrow rib spacing.
