Connecting floor supports

[drs3317]

What is the best method to connect the 2x4 floor supports for my cockpit sole? I'm using 2x4 douglas fir which has been epoxy coated. The orginal construction used 3" pieces of aluminum angle with two stainless screws each way. I was wondering if ther was another method others used. I have thought of galvanized joist hangers but still not sure which would be best.
Thanks all

I wouldn't use joist hangers..they are not very well galvanized...As a home builder I've always questioned their purpose in anything but shear strength.
Why not support the cockpit from the floors? Or use the cockpit bulkheads ,and use a ledger attached to them??
