This approach makes most sense. A pair of stainless saddles on the shelft on each side, a hooked stainless upright bolt that hooks into each saddle, a hardwood bar across the top of the battery box lid, and a wing nut on each bolt. Just have to find long SS bolts and get a hook welded on the bottom. Or drill a hole in the shelf for each bolt and thread the bolt straight up with a fender washer against the bolt head underneath the shelf. Thanks, guys.
