Velcro if you wanna live dangerously...glue if its permanent...now you've got me thinking. You could use nuts and bolts if you happen to have some fortuitously placed holes, but chances are slim. Let someone smarter than me give you a better answer...

what are these right here?

If those are holes but not spaced in the right size you could Zip Tie the res there maybe.

When I mounted that same res in my old 900 I used 1 screw on top (any random hole) and zip tied the bottom (yet another random hole) until I finally decided to drill a new hole that lined up right.

I am willing to bet those holes will line up... or damn close to it. Can't tell from the pic but the spacing looks about right for that micro res.

it looks like the are to far away from the edge for the holes to match up :/

EDIT: i took the side of my case off and i really dont think those holes are for a res. but like i siad, i will put the res up to it when i get it and see how it works out

Or get some kind of bracket from home depot / hardware store to extend it a bit to use those holes if you are dead set against a new set of holes.

But think of it like this.... If you ever sell it you can say " CUSTOM MOD FOR MOUNTING A RES!!!! "
