Installing Equipment in C5 Cargo Hatches

When you guys install equipment in the cargo hatches in the back (like amps, etc.), what do you use - screws through the fiberglass floor, velcro, 3M automotive adhesive, ?? I'm putting a dedicated computer CPU into the center hatch.

I glued down a couple of pieces of wood to the fiberglass then put the carpet back over it. That allowed for my mounting points for my amp rack.

That's what I was thinking, but my friends make fun of me when I use wood in these projects :)

I just used two small pieces. like 2" x 8" and the carpet goes over top of them. Nobody would ever know unless you told them. I even cut that size rectagle out of the padding under the carpet so it doesn't really stick up or anything.
