No mounting holes? Sides, back, top?

 

No. I'm not that bothered, just got to remember to put the handle on the side.

 

12 battens cut out and drilled, next is the circular saw. Hopefully I will still be decidigital following this operation.

Rosie,

 

Flip the Elf over and see if there are mounting screw holes on the bottom. The manual may say something about it, another clue is if TC offers a mounting bracket for the Elf.

 

Ah, I've not bought it yet. I've found the manual but it gives no clues, and I've not found any photos of the underside on line!

Screw-on feet, so that's a possible.

Something like this? I have no idea about the dimensions, but this slips under the screw in feet. The screw in feet lock this down, no changes to the Elf, no warranty issues.  It then slides into the base I designed for the Gnome. The height of it should be less than the height of the rubber feet.

 

 

This is not to scale, it's 5 mins work in Fusion 360. I thought about it walking the dog. The principle would work for anything with screw in feet. They can be staggered or in odd places.

Steel case. The obvious solution is two strips with big neodymium magnets set in them.

They probably wouldn't need to be that big either. Strangely I nearly ordered some last night to hold on a grille I'm fitting to my BC108 I'd just ordered a couple of bits from AliExpress including some threaded inserts for mounting the speakers and noticed the said magnets in the corner of the screen at a good price, but just as I clicked so too late.

 

I'm sitting here with my Gnome in front of me, as you can see the feet are naturally dovetailed so flipping them over would be possible. Alternatively a bigger bolt head or a steel washer would bring the screw head up to a fraction below the feet so that a set of four neo button magnets would engae with the bolt head and it would stop an amp sliding around. Another option would be to embed a magnet into the feet to engage with magents embedded in the cab.-

And just in case you don't think a magnet can't hold a Gnome captive. This is my magnetic tray doing the lifting
