If you could add some welded on tangs to the rear edge of the body of the box, could they then be slotted into the luggage strap cleats from below as you insert the box into the carrier.

I was going to leave that to the owner to fit a lock somewhere in the tie down area.....a bike lock type thing through the carry handles ??

Im working on a bespoke roof box to fit in the westy luggage tray. Early stage CAD models...just to show the idea.

I have a few good 12 volt mini batteries Kev.....from burglar alarm systems...brand new if you want one.

Would your plan be to take it out and recharge it every couple of weeks ?

I do have a shock sensor too......might try it without that connected and remeasure.

Thanks for the info chaps....might reroute mine to the starter battery.....either that or pray for lots of sun in January

It was the tracker....

0.14 to 0.15 with it connected.

Thanks chris....makes sense
