Glenn,
Had this type of set up in my last rodeo. The only draw back was if i forgot to screw a blanking off bolt into the tapped hole when the hold downs were not in use. Let in dust and water. Apart from that it worked well for hold downs for trail bikes that could be taken out when not needed.

Apologies GR for the slight hijack but thuoght y'all might get a laugh out of this as I did.

Many years ago I asked a good mate who was an apprentice boilie at the time to weld 4 eyes for tie down points (for a motorcycle) in the back of my well back ute. well gave hm the ute to take to work and low and behold when he returned with it that arvo all keen for me to inspect his handywork I discovered he had welded all 4 down the same side (!!!!). Trying not to laugh I enquired as to why he had done that to which he replied "Well you never said to place one in each corner, although I did wonder why you would anchor the bike to one side only..."

Apologies again but your query reminded me of that and I thought I would share that small laugh.
