Mounting air compressor in a toolbox

I did not want to mount my compressor under the hood (too hot) and it was too big to mount behind the rear passenger tail light. I decided to mount it in a toolbox. Here was the process.

This is the toolbox I will be using.

This is how it will look inside the tub.
Perfect place to mount it to the tub - this hole runs all the way down to the rear spring mount.
I'll be running this bolt.
Bolt fed through the hole.
Bolt cut down .
Hole in toolbox to run bolt through.
For extra security and durability I added some steel plate that I had laying around.

I am going to use longer black screws I found to mount the mounting plate to the toolbox.
Mounting plate is mounted.
Compressor mounted.
Rubber washer.

Finished. Now I just need to wire it to the battery, but it already works with just the terminals.
