Going to use tire bonnets on all 4 wheels,w/ the e-track mounting points8 Thats a total of 24foot of e-track, planning on using 3/16x1 3/4inch hex head wood screws, w/12 per foot thats 288, How many should I use?

Expert Reply:
Usually every third mounting hole in the E-Track should have a screw securing it to the wood trailer deck; please see photo. For your 1190 pound load this should be sufficient. The one and three-quarter inch hex head wood screws you plan to use are a good choice.
It would be beneficial to mount some of the screws through the trailer's metal frame, if possible.
