have to through-bolt it to the trailer walls, I wanted stainless. However the holes for the bolts that attach to the wall were quarter inch. That didn't seem like it would be strong enough to support the weight of up to five wheels and tires, so I upped them to five-sixteenths-inch stainless with stainless fender washers and nylon locking nuts. That meant I had to enlarge the mounting holes in the rack, too. Another quibble is that we also had to drill a new hole for the brackets that hold the center retainer bar in place. Also, the fasteners that were provided to assemble the rack were not sized as best as they could have been. They were all a little long. I found a video online touting the rack's quality, so I was expecting a bit more. In a perfect world, the bolts should be long enough to thread all the way into the nut on the other side and not a centimeter more. As provided, they were a little too long, which meant you either have to be sure the tires or wheels don't rub against the bolts, or turn the bolts the other way and ensure you don't clank your head on them. Or zip them off with a die grinder. Maybe I'm picking nits here. Overall fit and finish were good, the kit is highly adjustable, the welds were first rate and everything fit properly — and it is a much better storage system than I had. Now the wheels and tires stay put, and my routine when I arrive at the track has changed for the better. SN Because of the location of the cots I had installed and the door on the right side of the trailer, there was really only one place I could put the rack, up at the left front corner. The wall studs in the trailer are steel, which meant we had to locate the hinges on the wall, then use a center punch to mark the holes so the drill wouldn't "walk" on us. Drill a smaller pilot hole first, then use the larger five- sixteenths-inch drill to accommodate the mounting hardware. It's a little unsettling punching holes in the outer wall, but through-bolting is the only to ensure the rack is mounted securely. 1 3 2 4 41
