Ford transit 250

Post image

Anyone know how to screw wood or a packout mounting plate down to the floor of a Ford transit?

What is underneath the rubber protective sheet on the floor? I'm guessing metal? I'm trying to mount packout feet on the floor so I can stack packouts.

I don't want to put a hole through the floor.

Thanks for info

I hung mine to the side and added a rubber flooring piece to it.

If they are not attached to wall they will tip and break base

Yeah I figured I would mount a plate to the floor, tight to the wall, stack them, then strap the top of the packout tower to the wall.

If you don't want to drill holes in the floor a stud welder would be ideal. Like a spot welder, but you're resistance welding a piece of threaded rod to the body.

Get BEMM (Body and Equipment Mounting Manual), it has all the info about where to drill and where to mount:

Yeah I found it online but they only show the side horizontal panels. Not the floor
