Platform hole size?

geoB

I'm considering adding d-rings to the platform of a 2021 T@B 400 BD. To save me a trip to the storage yard (HOA constraint!), do you know the diameter of the holes in the platform? The d-rings would be for anchors for bungee cords. Thanks.

The holes in my 2020 BD platform are 1.5 inches.  I bought some truck bed stake hole pocket anchors at Home Depot.  They work great!

Yow! Didn't know these existed. I'm guessing you got some of this:

Don’t know the exact diameter but do know that I used 2” fender washers on the underside of the platform to anchor the bolts I used to secure rectangular milk crates onto the platform for storage purposes. The washers had a sufficient diameter to keep from pulling through the platform hole.

Yes, exactly that.

Here's my guess at the hole pattern, based on the first photo in this thread and Binghi's 2" fender washers.

Holes are 11/2" in diameter on 4" centers. Corrections are welcome.

@geoB ;
I just drilled a few holes in the platform; hole larger than bungee cord hook diameter and about 0.5 inch from the large platform holes I needed needed to use as an anchor point.

Bungee holds great with 'cord' over the platform hole and bungee 'hook tip' coming up in my extra hole.
