The original tower connection has been preserved so it remains compatible with the existing tower modules. The mounting rim has been extended outward by approximately ¼ inch and slightly thickened to distribute the tower’s weight across a larger area. The original oversized power-cord opening was replaced with a sixth matching 14 mm bolt hole, creating an evenly spaced six-bolt mounting pattern.
For best results, use stainless-steel bolts with wide washers on the underside of the lid. Tighten the bolts evenly and avoid overtightening, which could deform or crack a plastic bucket lid.
