Cargo Tie-down Points
The little folding cargo tie-down points in the back of the D3 are not exactly heavy duty. I seem to remember that someone on the forum replaced them with 4 more serious items.
Having searched the forum to death, with no luck, has anyone got an idea on a good way of replacing the existing lashing points?

Strong enough to use ratchet lashing straps. I wanted to strap down a big lump of metal the other day - the existing lashing eyes don't look like they could take much strain.
Why PM non stick nick??
