Need to organise bikes in back of van. Want to put a false floor over the whel arches - so bikes will go on top - strapped down to the lashing rings, other stuff under. Wondering how to secure the wooden frame for this to the non ply lined van?

Cheers!

You can pilot hole screw into the ribs on the inside of a pilot van.

Fix into any of the ribs (make sure theres not electrics behind and use a shortish drill bit do that you don't leave a nice pimple on the outside of the van when). Perhaps use pop rivets instead of screws - the metal is pretty thin and you've barely got one thread of the screw catching it - so screws can work loose fairly easily.
