Would Wood Screws in Every Hole of E-Track # EM59150 Be Adequate for Securing Motorcycle
Question:
I realize that the best method of attachment is to use bolts and nuts with a backing plate. That being said my toy hauler has an enclosed under belly and the fresh water and grey water tanks are right up against the floor. Would there be enough strength to tie down a 900 lb. motorcycle by using wood screws about 1inch long in every screw hole available. I would be cutting a 2 foot section in half so there would be a total of 12 screws per section or 6 per side. Thank you.

If you used wood screws in every hole of the E-track part # EM59150 that you referenced you'd have enough capacity to secure your 900 lb motorcycle. There isn't a one-size-fits-all method for installing the E-tracks but for your situation and what you are wanting to do using every screw hole with wood screws would be adequate.
