Well I just put my D-40 back up after I broke one of the mounting holes off the outer box . What I did was drill through the top of the outer case behind the locking pins , I put 2 sheet rock screws into a wood block ,and drilled holes for some much stronger bungee cords ( Truck type ) . You could also mount the camera with screws through the wood into the tree . Also put a lock through the lock bracket between the latches .
