    Default What setup for baggage restraint ?

    Hi,
    I am wondering what people have / use , to hold cargo secure in the baggage compartment area.

    What setup do you have?

    I put 6 (3 per side) small tie-down brackets bolted thru the baggage floor. Then I bought one of those 6-pronged bungee assemblies to go over the cargo and hook into the brackets on the floor. Of course I can also use single bungees or ropes depending on the size and shape of the baggage.

    None for me. (Baggagesack, plywood bottom).
    Although I do have some pockets sewn in the Side-panels for small stuff that had to be reachable.

    My baggage set-up is another one off thing. I made the floor of laminated foam fiberglass with aluminum angle perimeter with slots for velcro straps. The sides are cordura and strap to the floor. I have tie down tabs on each corner and the plan is a bungee secured net set-up to keep stuff off the ceiling during turbulance.

    I used drawer pulls. Reinforced them below baggage floor with large fender washers.
