Anyone have any mounts that they have come across that fit the Zarges cases?
The K9 mount only fits the Alu Box brand.
I am looking for a non-permanent mounting option.
Stoked to be on here and looking forward to the networking!
Cheers! Happy Trails.

I've thought about experimenting with fabricating my own brackets for my Zarges K470s. Similar to the K9 mounts you mentioned; an aluminum C channel would clasp the bottom rim at one end and another with a swing arm would clasp the opposite end, which would fit over a more concealed hasp.
I want separate brackets for each end, though; the mounts of which would be hidden under the Zarges case when in place.
With separate brackets instead of a plate I could clasp either the ends or long sides as needed. Having separate brackets would allow me a wider range of use, too. Though my three K470s all have the same footprint (image below), I have a wider, flatter case too, and would place a bracket on each of its four sides.
Having separate brackets would be far easier for me to store when not in use than a longer one-piece plate, as well. I'm not a fan of leaving mounts for various things in place when not in use. What I put up there, in the small available space I have, often changes. Right now it's traction boards in a soft case. Next adventure it may be Wolf Packs or Zarges cases.
For now, what I have in my K470s is more weight than I want to put up that high, especially in that small of a footprint, so they are stowed in trailer and van.
If I move my big rack with T slots to the van, and replace it on the trailer with 80/20 for the tent, I'll have more need for brackets and gear mounts.
The point is,
@Hagrid, if you're handy or have access to a metal brake, or have a pal with the know how, a custom solution can be fabbed up on your own.
