Where Should Install Hardware for E-Track Cargo Management be Sourced
Question:
I just purchased a 6 X 12 enclosed trailer. I intend to purchase and use the E-Track Tie-Down hardware to secure loads in the trailer. I noticed that the horizontal and vertical E-Track bars do not come with mounting screws. I have watched the video demonstrations to see how the track bars are mounted. I would like to know what type of screws should be used and where I should purchase the screws to install the E-Track hardware. Your assistance will be appreciated. Thank you.

Expert Reply:
Determining the mounting locations of E-Track like part # E19148 will depend on the construction of your trailer and personal preference. You will need to determine what would work the best based how your trailer is setup and also consider what you are planning on securing.
To secure the track to the plywood, you can use screws, or rivets. Using 1/2 inch screws would be a good length with 3/4 inch plywood. You will want to attach screws at least every other mounting hole. Your local hardware store would be an excellent source for the install hardware.
