Question:

This removable wheel chock has fasteners that appear to recess into the deck of a wooden trailer. 2 questions. 1 How are the fasteners placed into the trailer deck, do they require a special tool to screw them in with? 2 Do you sell these fasteners separately? I would like to have multiple locations placed on my trailer so the chock could be used in different locations on the same trailer.

On the Motorcycle Wheel Chock, # TWSPWM, no special tool is needed to install the anchors to the wooden trailer floor, just a 5/16 inch Allen wrench. The anchors will be recessed into the floor, but the screws that the wheel chock attaches to are above the floor.

To install, you will use the wheel chock as a template to mark where you want the holes to be drilled on the trailer floor. Then, you will drill three holes with a 7/16 inch drill bit. After the holes are drilled then you can insert the anchors and they will screw in with a 5/16 inch Allen wrench.

After you install the anchors, you will then install the screws. To attach the wheel chock, place it over the screws and slide it so that the screw slips into the slot on the hole.

I do have fasteners that are sold separately, the Replacement Hardware Kit For Metal Floor, # TWSPWFKM, in a three pack.
