<p>As you can see, the skid has a generous slot, so I had to put a washer between the skid slot and the eye of the tie-down. As I recall, I also put a firm rubber washer between the skid and the fuselage to make it more resistant to deflecting or twisting and prevent wear on the bottom of the fuselage skin.</p>

<p>Thanks John for the tip, I just added one to my "cart", did you have any issues getting it firmly attached? I'd guess it mounts right over the tie down loop, am I correct?</p>
