Happy to help James,

There are several ways to mount the TorkLift PowerArmor Locking Battery Box # TLA7700L depending on your trailer. The box does not use a specific bolt pattern in the bottom. Instead, it is designed to be mounted a few different ways:

Directly to the trailer tongue using the included self tapping screws.
Using the included extension brackets
In place of an existing OEM battery tray using the factory battery brackets, if your trailer is equipped that way.

What kind of trailer are you putting the battery box on? Do you have propane tanks, jack or something else is on your trailer tongue?

The tongue of my 2024 Jayco Micro looks just like your photos. Can you show where the mounting screws and/or brackets are located?

@JamesG completely understand what you're looking for but TorkLift doesn't provide a mounting diagram or underside photo showing the hardware, there are several installation photos from different angles on the product page that give a good view of how the battery box sits on the trailer tongue. On a setup like your 2024 Jayco Jay Micro, the battery box is typically secured directly to the trailer tongue using the included self tapping screws through the bottom flange of the box. If needed, the included extension brackets can also be used to provide additional support depending on your tongue configuration.
