Lord2Jags: It would be nice to know that they do not contain the bolts to mount them as we now have to go to the local hardware supplier to get bolts so we might as well got the tiedowns from them as well rather than waiting for them to be delivered. The picture also show bolts so would assume they came with them. Why not state it in the listing that they DO NOT?

Steven J: These are impressively strong and very nice that they drop out of the way. I have an 8' x 5' trailer with plywood deck these were installed on and the hardest part was finding stainless bolts etc, and an appropriately sized hole saw that didn't break the bank. I ended up using the backer plate as a template, marked the deck and used a saber saw. The backer plate was also great for drill guide for bolt holes!.

Just be sure there's no interference with struts or wires under where you'd like to put these anchors, I thought of that just before making a big mistake, thankfully. The taller edge of the backer goes on the hinge side as pictured, and the loop goes in the direction of anticipated strap tension direction for best strength.

There are weep holes in the ring wells to let water out! Nice touch.

I haven't needed to trailer my bike yet, but have moved the riding lawnmower many many times over hundreds of miles (get yourself ratchet straps, buy once and be happy ever after) without problems. Some wood preservative (used up some Cuprinol) in the holes and cuts should help keep the deck from suffering the cuts.

jrich: The tie downs arrived in short order. I was very pleased with the quick shipping, packing and overall quality of the tie downs. I mounted them in my utility trailer. I made a template from 3/4" wood stock and drilled a 3 1/2" hole with a hole saw and drill press. The template butted up against the bottom rail of the utility trailer. I used a straight cut router bit 1/2" wide with a flush bearing at the top and set 1" deep; however, I made two passes; first pass at 1/2 inch and the second pass at 1". I located the template with the template hole centered and template butted up against the bottom rail of the trailer. I used a staple gun with 2" staples and tacked the template in place. It held very well and easy to pop out and move to the next location. I drilled a 1" deep starter hole for the router bit with a 3/4" forstner bit flush against the inside edge of the template hole. I set the router bit to 1/2" depth and dropped it into the starter hole with bearing flush against the edge of the template and ran around the outside edge cutting the perimeter. Then I nibbled away at the remainder and slowly cut out the interior of the recessed hole. I lowered the bit to 1" for the second...

tank55: I bought the set of 9 because I needed 8 (for 2 bikes) and they didn't sell just 8 so that's OK I have a spare.
The price was good and shipping was quick.
When they arrived they were of very good quality but I could not believe that there were no bolts.
That small detail adds another $60.00 to the to the total.
That would have been nice to know up front I probably would have bought something else.
