This would provide a secured rear edge and then maybe something similar on the front so once the box is inserted under the rear cleats, the front cleats are used similarly but with bolt on tangs which are secured inside the front edge of the box via coachbolts and nylocks or similar? Much more secure especially as the box could potentially be holding upto 50kgs (including its own weight). Also less nickable...

Weatherproof strip along the edge to keep the wet out or drain holes?

Just some ideas. Looks good though and if you need someone to trial a prototype..... :ok

thanks again Shaun...good inputs.
the box base will have a flange which will hold a rubber gasket yet to be decided...and drain holes for good measure :ok
