My suggestion dealt with the elevator bolts away from the wall c-channels. Those should be accessable from the open ends of the outriggers. I was suggesting that the clips be put on the sides of the crossmembers so that the floor could be secured to them. At the plywood splices you would need to put clips on both sides of the crossmembers.
I have observed that these "interior" elevator bolts or screws will experience a lot of stress. I only have my rear (both) section of floor in and have not inserted the E-bolts yet. Just sitting idle with no road bumps the center of my 3/4" MG plywood has probably bowed up 3/4"! I plan to suck it down tomorrow with elevator bolts.
