Expert Reply:
The etrailer Horizontal E-Tracks like part # e42VR are a great option for securing vehicles especially when combined with the Erickson E-Chock Wheel Chocks part # EM09162-2 and Erickson E-Track Strap with Ratchet part # EM59136. I don't really have an exact answer for you in regards to the number of screws needed as this has been difficult information to get from the manufacturer sicne there are soo many variables but the closer you are to the weight capacity of the track, the closer you will need to have the screws to one another. I suggest every other hole for most applications just to be safe.
