You can see them in the pic of the HF trailer kit that I put together. Bolted them through the 3/4" plywood floor and frame.



For motorcyclists HF is your friend.

IMO bigger is better and you will probably replace straps more often than the anchors. I'd put the largest anchors (with in reason) that would physically fit and I'd mount them as securely as possible.

Don't skimp on the straps either. Good quality straps are worth the cost. They work smoother and last longer. 1200lb rating minimum.
