Of course another way to incorporate stops would be to either make the
vertical posts a bit too wide for the holes and then trim them down for the
length that will go into the pocket holes, or you could attach stops on
the side of the vertical posts so that the posts can only go into the hole
as far as you want. If you add some type of rubber or such on the bottom
of the stops they should not damage the paint too much. Always more than
one way to skin a cat (especially after they claw holes in the seat of your
sportster . . .).

The repo bed sides I am now finishing with new bed wood have no stops in
them
either. I suppose an alternative would be to drill a small hole through
the
bed from the inside and use a single wood screw into the upright pieces. I
don't think I can drill a hole in that newly painted virgin metal. I guess
I'll wait a few years.
