Front Compartment Wire Shelves.
I used # 12 screws for the brackets, tapped for 12-24 threads in the metal part of wall top and bottom
Brackets sitting on metal floor.
Drilled thru the wood wall at top screw so could add backup fender washers and nuts to hold top of wall solid against the metal as middle top part of my wall wasn't secured very well.

Dave,
There are a couple options you could use to secure the shelf rails to the back walls as others have shared including 1) drill/tap the holes, 2) use a sheet metal screw that doesn’t poke through the belly storage inside plywood wall, or 3) drill a straight through hole and use bolts/washers/nuts that fit the rail holes like Gene showed in his pictures.
For me, since these shelves aren’t going to be supporting a lot of weight any of the 3 above options would be sufficient... Use whichever approach you are more comfortable with or have the tools. I personally used option 2 above since I didn’t want anything visible or could scratch anything in the main underbelly storage compartment. So far everything has remained secure and works great.
One thing I would also recommend while you have the area fully accessible is to install a led light strip and switch since the shelves do block the OEM light... This is my next mod.
Hope this helps.

Our 337 doesnt come home till next week but i have been all over these MOD pages. Found 2 cool things at Home Depot today. I've see a few pics where folks have tied up hoses and cords to hang, like the idea but dont like rope. Found these at HD and for the price, i bought several. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Keeper-O...5268/207118285
To store my stinky snake, since i no longer have a bumper, I bought a black 5 gallon bucket and found screw on lids.

Kevin, You are going to find that when stored in a 5 gallon bucket sealed, that your hose will become even more stinky and more slinky! It needs air. Not only that, this is one more bucket to carry around when space is a premium. If you want to carry additional hoses, there are several threads on the "fence post" mod, which I also did, search that.

The factory tube is not full width. I put about 20' of hose in mine while new and it popped the end off and I lost the hose. I now have two fencepost tubes under my fiver. I like my homebrew tubes because they are not only full width, but they are also large enough to store lengths of gutter as well as the end fittings.
I'm trying to figure out what to do with - the now capless - original tube. Seems a shame to take it off, but I'll have to gin up some sort of end cap.John and Jean
