Thanks Alistair.

I no longer have holes in the luggage rack - at least I will when I put the
tie-downs back on.  Eventually, I am going to put a cover or a solar panel
up there, so rain gathering up there will not be a problem.  I actually
painted the top with the van's paint job.

Anybody have any good ideas for alternative uses for those tie-down holes?

Dana

West Marine has stainless versions that fit, i think i mentioned it before,
must be in the archives. Anyhoo, better than the stock footman loops as they
allow a thicker line to be passed under them. The replacements are not
footman loops, but rather some sort of fairlead.
Archive to confirm...
