I did over 300 bolts, with washers and locknuts under the bottom of all of them. Took me lots longer than 1 hour.

Re: 6X12 and 7X14 pics please.

I paid for a couple of sandwiches at a deli for my wife and I long ago before kids and when we really needed every penny. I took my change and sat down at the table with the sandwiches with my wife and then saw that the cashier mistakenly made change for a $20 when I only gave her a $10. Sure, I was tempted to keep it, but it wasn't mine.

I went back and gave the overage back. Despite the looks from the cashier and the other people in line, it was a most satisfying thing for me.

I am sure I don't need to say since you do know the answer

On a side note I was working in a part store when to ladies came in desperately wanting a fuel pump. Well we had one and i felt kind of bad since it was $30ish at a time when most were under $20. Now I thought that since they were from out of town they would think I was preying on them. So I went to great length to explain why is was more. They did not care and were thrilled to get the pump so they could get home that night. when the one lady paid she mistakenly handed me $60 instead of $40, now I crinkled the new bills on habit and just handed one back and made change. The smile and thanks was worth far more than $20.

Re: 6X12 and 7X14 pics please.

What do you guys/gals think about Dloops on the floor? better or not as good as the Etracks. I am starting to lean toward the D's...only because of flush fitting. I will put steel plate under it...to keep it strong...but how many of you are using this meathod?

D-Loops suck compared to the E-track.....unless you are always going to use your trailer exactly the same way.

I use mine for different bikes, ATVs, carts, furniture, etc.... so the flexibility of the E-track blows the D-rings away imho. You can reconfigure in seconds, and keep the boomers clear of any fairings etc...

Re: 6X12 and 7X14 pics please.

mm'kay.

I didn't know I could recess those...that might be worth it. I think I am going with the tripple floor style...two on each side, and on in the middle.

I use both. I think my loops are rated @ 2000 lbs ea. I have them bolted through the floor into 2" angle-iron as the re-inforcement. If you lay out your etrack, you can recess it later with some nice aluminum plate strips

Re: 6X12 and 7X14 pics please.

I used the quick release floor rings and placed them all around without too much drama. Although not flush on a hard floor, they recess into the carpet in my trailer and have never been a problem. Ever drop a 340 mainjet into the ETrack? Not much fun . . .

just think very small (small enough to lose itself through the slots) and made of brass (non magnetic). We ended up pulling the entire piece of track to recover the damn thing right before a race . . .
