The toolbox on the frame took the place of the battery holder that was there before so I just used the same holes and the larger machine bolts/screws that were there. The only thing I added was some washers inside the box so the heads could not pull through. I put some bolts in the existing holes, lined up the box where I wanted it and hit the bottom of the box with a hammer in the inside near where I figured the bolts would be. Where ever there was a bump, I knew where to drill. The box is a "slim" version (12") for small trucks and just barely fits to leave room to raise the weight dist. hitch arms.
Inside the box I lined the part where the batteries are with some 1/2" plastic dense foam I had from some packing material so the batteries would not rub. I also cut a 3/4" board to the exact width of the box and drilled and screwed it into place to hold the batteries in place.
