While preparing AEX tie down extrusion for installing in the tail, the light came on. Get an extra length of this extrusion and chop into pieces about 1/2" long. After drilling out the big hole 3/8" and cleaning the edges, these things can be riveted/popriveted to various points in the baggage compartment. The hole may be a bit small for chord, but fine for bungee chord hooks.

I made mine so that with the rings screwed into them, they were located so they could be used as baggage tiedowns. Less drag, and fewer items on the ceiling.

I put them at the top of the F-749 baggage side covers, pretty much where the plans show. See dwg #29, detail D.
