N11VC

I'm New Here
After the hurricane blasted through the north of this area I noticed that the rear Tie-down of my RV6A was bent and that the F-612 bulkhead was torn slightly. Winds were about 40-50 knots in this area. Something I'll have to fix unfortunately. The way the Tie-down was installed by the builder was attaching a bracket with a Tie-down ring welded to it and bolted to the F-612 bulkhead. The way it is now, force is torqued at almost a 45 degree angle angle to the bulkhead, the bottom of the bulkhead tore where the plate attaches.

I've read some post where people mention the RV7 design is better, but I can find any pictures to see what this is. Does anyone else have any other solutions they have used that have worked out well?
