So after talking to some mates about how I had planned to mount it and looking at what a PIA it was going to be to screw into my drawer system I have elected to try to use existing bolt holes and my second battery tray to secure my lower mounts.
To do this I needed more steel at the bottom to have my brackets mounted to. Hence the new bit of steel added to the bottom.
Below are the two out of three lower mounts. Left has a bolt going into captured nut. Previously had a rubber plug in it. In the bottom right is an L shape bracket made of angle and flat iron which is secured to my battery tray via a bolt.
Sorry for the finger in the shot. In the right hand corner the brown cardboard will be replaced with more flat iron which will also bolt to the other side of the battery tray. This will provide me with three mounts on the bottom.
So far i'm really enjoying this challenge. I am slowly, but surely building up my metal working tools. Picked up a el-cheapo drill press for 108$ from the local hardware store. They lost the box so I told them the price just went down from the asking 130$
