About this model

In purchasing a new utility trailer, I needed a solution for storing tow straps, gloves etc and had previously used a battery box to store those items. So I modeled this two piece mount that sandwiches a 3" x 5" trailer tongue using the following hardware: 2 1/2" 1/4" Bolt (6) 1/4" Nut (6) Washers (12) The battery box I simply drilled four holes right through that and into the model. I then sourced four random bolts and nuts to secure the battery box to mount. Also, incredibly, works with a swing back tongue jack! Printed using 25% infill, 3 wall loops w/ supports. Thanks for looking and let me know if you have any questions!
