Question:
I need to install some D-rings in my new enclosed trailer for hauling my 2004 Honda Sabre among other things. I am am not sure if I need the heavy duty recessed d-rings or if these would be enough. The trailer has plywood floor. Also, if I am drilling through the floor, what is the best way to keep the new holes from being compromised by water and weather?

Expert Reply:
The Brophy D-Ring Tie Down Anchor # RR01-C that you referenced has a 400 lb capacity per D-ring. If you used enough of these to match the capacity needed to secure your Honda Sabre and cargo they would work well. If your bike weighs 800 lbs two of these would have enough capacity. Using 4 like you mentioned would be more than enough.
For backing plates for this you could also use the # BP12. For sealant to prevent leaks you could also use the part # 0160297. This sealant is designed for use with wood so it would work well for you.
