Installing an E-Track Cargo Control to Secure a Harley Electra Glide in a Enclosed Trailer
Question:
Im installing e tracks in an enclosed trailer for hauling Harley Davidson electraglides. The bikes weigh over 900 lbs. a piece. The question I have is about the fasteners. The holes in the e tracks are very small. I am using 2 in. long number 12 self tapping screws thats what the package displays the trailer has a 1 inch plywood floor and cross brace every 16 inches which is where Im attaching the e tracks. Is that sufficient or do I need a bigger fastener?

Expert Reply:
The method you described for installing the E-Track Trailer Cargo Control # E19148 should be sufficient, but if you really wanted to secure the tracks you could run wood screws through the holes into your plywood floor as well as the self tappers into the frame of your trailer.
