For some reason my ladder was not installed with bolts, had big stainless screws, bought a hf rivet nut tool, drilled the holes bigger and popped them in tool worked perfect and best part all the inserts are sae not metric

I also got rid of the heavy factory cargo rubber mat and installed these interlocking rubber squares we used in fire trucks
