Abstract: A cargo tiedown anchor for mounting on a vehicle or wall comprises a raised central circular portion on the front surface of a back plate and is rotatably positionable in an opening in a wall of a structural member on a vehicle. A U-shaped clip has a pair of legs and a tiedown ring is loosely retained between the legs of the clip. The legs are inserted in slots in the raised central circular portion of the back plate such that the ends of the legs protrude beyond the rear surface of the back plate. The clip is attached to the back plate behind the wall with the opening by welding around the outlines of the protruding leg ends.
