[QUOTE="jigngrub, post: 219349, member: 6657"] I'm guessing you want to install these on the bench seats? As stated above, sheetmetal screws won't hold for very long for a pedestal base. there's a lot of leverage forces at the base when the pedestal is in use. Bolts, washers, nyloc nuts, and even backing plates are the norm for this installation. If you can't access the underside of your bench for the above materials toggle bolts are a reasonable secondary. they aren't as good of an installation as the others, but will do a fair job. These look like some pretty good ones at a fair price: https://www.defender.com/product.jsp?path=-1|10918|311444|309358&id=1012406 [/QUOTE]
