Pelican case mounting?

Pelican case mounting?
To all of you that have a Pelican case on your KLX...
Can you show me pics of underneath the case?
I wanna see what y'all did to mount them.
I saw one guy that had 3 posts coming thru the case with spring pins and washers to hold it down...
Looked very professional, but I guess he had to drill through his nice watertight pelican case?
I'm thinking of putting the Pelican 1400 on the back.

I was planning on installing like everyone else, but after I got the cases I was then fundamentally opposed to drilling holes in that nice water-tight case. Also, I wanted to be able to take it off and put it back on very quickly without having to fiddle with bolts and such. So I mounted mine a little differently. See below:

That awesome, I like the ratchet idea... Any problems so far with it shifting around?
I was almost thinking of using two ratchets to prevent shiftage...
Too bad they didn't make smaller ones - that's really quite a lot of steel for such a small job (heavy).

Yeah, I looked around a good bit for a smaller ratchet. I'm sure they are out there somewhere. It's an easy replacement when I find them. One thing I would do differently and that would be instead of fixing the ratchet semi-permanently to the box by virtue of the 3/8" rod going through the ratched holes, I would instead turn the ratchet holes into "hooks" so that the ratchet can be easily unhooked from the case.
Other than that, they have worked perfectly. The go on and off very easily and quickly. And there is no shifting - it is _very_ solid and I've been over some very rough terrain and even taken a few spills with the case attached. No problems.
