A-Rings for mounting gear to floor - PICTURES

[GSequoia]

These are the rings that I've refered to.

I pulled them out of '80's small Chevy Blazers / GMC Jimmy's, there is one per vehicle mounted dead center in the cargo bay. They height of each is about 1.25"

What they hold down (with turnbuckles) most the time, it probably weighs about 40 - 50 lbs, it doesn't move at all under big bumps or heavy braking.

Yea I saw those in a friends Jimmy. Got to find some of those! How did you secure them to the floor without punching a hole in the fuel tank?

[GSequoia]

Those are actually in the existing holes for the factory D-Rings (even though I didn't have them, the holes were there). But they are on the edges of the cargo bay, so they do straddle teh fuel tank.

It's all good man, if you do poke holes in the fuel tank it will only leak when you roll and in that case your gonna have bigger fish to fry amirite?

The key is not that the thread is 7 years old. The key is that the thread is Geoff's. ;)

It has been like 7 years and they say i'm slow to post pics...

I have used the exact same A-rings to help hold down totes when wheeling, and let me say, they have worked EXTREMELY well! I used a piece of 3/8 plate on the backside of the sheetmetal where I mounted the ring and it holds very well.

You can find 4 at a time if you look in a recent model Suburban, Tahoe or Yukon. They might be a couple RCHs bigger though.

RCH?

The hook is the same, I was actually aware of them when I authored this post but way back then you would never see them in the yards as they were still quite new. You couldn't (and still can't) spit at the bone yard then without hitting an S10 Blazer.

Red C*** Hair. It's the smallest unit of physical measurement. Do they not teach this anymore? I feel old.

no, it's the finest of the C*** Hairs. don't they teach you anything?

[hubs97xj]

Finest (adverb) meaning smallest- not referring to the quality (adjective)- it's still just monkey fur. It's a very common misunderstanding.
