What do you guys think. Approach A or B? I'm using a .5"x3"x40" aluminum bar across the factory seat anchors to support the plywood and tie other stuff into (future drawers, etc.).
With 'A' It would be easy to recess the bolts into the plywood but then I'd have to deal with the recesses filling up with crap and the reduced strength. With B I could just recess the flat bar and then use smaller button head screws into the aluminum bar.
Any of your engineers know if tapping into .5" aluminum with m6/8 steel bolts advisable? Is aluminum strong enough to tapp and hold the wieght of a drawer system?
