now u must cut the quick clips off of the bag and sow A loop on the one.
on the other one u must put a piece of webbing.
cut another piece of aluminum and drill at least 3 holes in it put the skrews in the holes and skrew it to the wood.

now do this again for the other side

now to prevent the PC from going from side to side u will need something with two holes in it, i used insulaters.
tie the one end of the string to the one and skrew it to the side of the upright.
on the other side skrew one of the things with 2 holes on the side only using only one hole.

The Vertical Tiedowns

drill two big holes about 20mm from the corner in the base.
now u must take another 2 things with two holes and more strings.

tie the one end of the string onto the thing with two holes. now put the string threw the loop that u sowed into the webbing. now put the string threw the same hole u tied the string to now put it threw the other hole and pull it threw the hole in the base dont tie yet.
