   I bought some stainless steel 3/16" locking quick-release pins along with
some heavy duty stainless steel eye nuts from the McMaster Carr catalog to
use in the threaded tie down holes on my ES.  I drilled out the center of
the eye nut holes so they fit over the pin and used a dab of hysol to hold
them in place.  These are much stronger than the pins I've seen on some
320/360's out there.  If they don't work out, I still have my threaded
tiedown bolts that came with the kit, but the pins and eye bolts look very
substantial to me.  I'd be surprised if they ever bent.
  The McMaster-Carr Catalog is huge, but it's available online at
http://www.mcmaster.com/ and has the greatest assortment of hardware I've
ever seen.
