Hmm...Nifty. You should have seen my cousin uncle and I trying to put a 10 disc changer in there and mount it level and flush, lol. It was fun. Just the shape of the box made it kinda hard, cause the damn thing always wanted to sit crooked, and when we brought it up high enough to clear one ridge, it would hit the lid, lol. Oh well, Im glad thats over with.

You simply drill a hole through the floorboard and install the eyehooks, then hook the J hook to them and run something over the top. You can even bend the J hook to compensate for the slant of the floorboard:

I was curious, because I can't put a battery box around mine, it's too tight a fit. The "J" hooks I bought just plain suck.
I am looking for a good secure alternative.

Screwed through the plastic, onto the factory sheetmetal of the bins.
On the lid side, it's just on the plastic. It didn't go all the way through.
I have had 7 FB's, and I have done this mod to 5 of them. It's a real common problem (at least to me).
When finished, it's very snug.

Im my FB ( this is not battery related) I simply removed the lid behind the passenger side to have much easier access to the bin. On the drivers side it stays shut, housing a 10 disc changer.
