So where did you get the bracket adapters?

I have a huge supplier of Pelican cases locally but have not been able to find any decent adapters. Twisted Throttle has some, but the lock mechanism is weak. My fab skills suck so I'm not able to make something myself and have it turn out decent.

Interested in this also.

The aluminum plates started out as 19" relay-rack panels; a lot of jig-sawing, drill and belt-sander work resulted in plates that fit onto the Givi pegs, with a hole that fits over the Givi latch-protrusion.  Rather than attempt a [weak] lock-snap mechanism, I drilled down through the Givi latch parts just outboard of the aluminum plate, so that a 3" long wood screw can be installed to secure each of the plates.  A kluge, but it's *very* secure!   Found the cheapo cases via Google search... on Amazon, IIRC

Disclaimer: Note that the ElCons weigh about 4x the rated capacity of a 22liter Givi side case...

Very cool! I am stealing that latch idea. I spent a couple months 3D printing some Givi-compatible latch designs and was not happy with any of them.

FYI, Caribou Cases used to offer bolt-on "fork" brackets to fit the bottom Givi lugs, but I no longer see them on the spare parts page: http://cariboucases.com/

Also their DIY kits look a lot like your solution: http://cariboucases.com/Do-It-Yourself-Kits/  :-)
