Two locating pins at the top accept the wheel as you tip it over, and the sliding tilting base flips up against to back of the rim. Install 2 bolts to fix the rim to the base. Then brute force to slide it up and drop the bottom bolt in and tighten to lock everything in place.

Was not expecting the fit to be that tight, and happy to get away with it. Mind you, it has taken me a good part of a week to get it sorted, with lots of unexpected tweaks along the way. If I didn’t have the time I would have definitely just welded a few lugs to the floor for some straps and bolt the old battery box down.
