I used washers on the inside of the case and drilled the holes through both the bracket and the case so they were tight (i actually had to use a hammer to tap them through.) I put the washer on the oversized washer on that side because when removing the case and putting it on the sled I wanted a larger support there. The bracket is made of a more rigid plastic and the case is softer so I would recommend the washers on the case side for sure. I put silicone between the bracket and the case as well as inside the case. So far no leaks or issues. You'll notice that the bracket is a bit off center, thats on purpose so I can more easily use the bracket. The rear support is simply a 1.5" piece of ABS pipe cut in half and siliconed on. The Silicone holds it but I added the foam because it provides more of a soft edge as I noticed it was rattling a little down the trail. The foam stopped it and the duct tape held the foam on. In the future I may remove it and add another bracket on the back edge of the case.

Side profile, How the bracket is shaped you get a bit of angle to the case, it works lol

Inside my case, The foam is just tear outs and is replaceable. Enough room for my camera, 24-70mm lens, 70-200 mm lens and an extra battery. I could fit more but this is all i've ever needed so why carry more?

Like I said I have about 3500 km on this set up, it works, makes camera access a dream and keeps my gear nice and dry. The foam is starter to deteriorate now (not bad for being 3500 km) (that includes A LOT of ungroomed trails lol) so I'll probably just buy a new foam insert (its like $40 ish i think)

Other than that I think all I'll do is add another Linq bracket. Never had an issue so I dont think its needed but I think it'll make it just that much more secure so why not try it? It's only four more holes in the tunnel lol
