This is a straight swap. As can be seen, I used oversized nuts on the connecting bolts to create a stand-off. I have found that it is unnecessary. The unit never even gets warm.

I, ahem, researched this thoroughly. Found myself being adopted by a large bike pack and while at a rest stop I asked them how their units were bolted on. Without exception, all were just bolted to the frames with no rubber.

What's your mileage? Who cares. Is it practical? See #1. What happens when it rains? You get wet.
