Hi All,
I was wondering if anyone has any experience with adding the final tiedown pass through on an older FWC mode? I have a mid-80s Fleet and it seems there only have the 3 pass throughs. Under the stove/water tank there isn't one. It seems to me they use to just use three tiedowns but 4 is the new norm.
I have already put in the fourth bolt but need to make the door to access it. Trying to figure out if I should go in from the side of the floor pack (like the new models), or add the top down access like the rest of my three.
My only concern is a 13X4in rectangle making floorpack less structurally sound... I would think going in from the side would weaken it more, but going in from the top can be a real hassle to weave my arm in through.
Also, spoiler alert, I gutted my fleet . I need to update my build page. Ill do that soon!
