If you run with or plan to run with a suitcase bolted down, it's all for show anyway, I use a long carriage bolt X4, small enough head to seat itself into the hole provided, run it through the bottom of the suitcase and then through a 1X2X the depth of the floor of the suitcase, then put an oversized washer and then the nut. Gives a secure means of support. Those case straps you see are not holding the bag to the frame, I just have the straps looking as if it does.
