[QUOTE="Deadmeat, post: 119558, member: 704"] There's no way to get under the benches to mount a plate but there's a think piece of plywood under the aluminum. We used heavy stainless steel screws to go through the aluminum and into the plywood, and with 6 holes in the base I think it will hold really well. For the pin part, bored a hole in the aluminum about 3 inches in diameter, I think, and that's where the pin part goes into the bench. On my old Grumman 1542 we mounted a piece of plywood across the top of the bench and used it to mount the base using the same method as above. The Grumman didn't have any plywood beneath the metal so we figured it would be better to have something more substantial for the base. We carpeted over the whole thing and it looked really good. I'm finishing my mods now and should have them ready for posting later this week, I hope. Hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
