Claim 17:
18. A method of mounting an object fitted with two mounting rails to two crossbars comprising:
using the security mounting bracket device of claim 1 comprising:
a) placing a bolt through a hole of a mounting channel slide and inserting the mounting channel slide into a channel of a first mounting rail wherein a head of the bolt is positioned between the mounting channel slide and the first mounting rail leaving an unthreaded and a threaded shank of the bolt exposed beneath the mounting channel slide;
b) repeating step a) with a second bolt and aligning the two bolts suspended from the mounting rail a distance equal to the distance between two counterbore hole bolt entry ends of the security mounting bracket device;
c) c)_repeating steps a) and b) on a second mounting rail
d) placing the object with mounting rails on top of a crossbar
e) straddling the crossbar, perpendicular to and below the first mounting rail, with the security mounting bracket device, inserting two bolts through the counterbore hole bolt entry ends of the two posts of the security mounting bracket device and positioning the threaded shank of the bolt within the well of the counterbore hole;
f) using a nut and socket, placing the nut onto the threaded shank of the bolt within the counterbore hole well and tightening the nut onto the bolt and forming a bolted joint between the security mounting bracket device and the first mounting rail, wherein a bolted joint is formed between each of two security mounting bracket devices and mounting channel slide;
g) repeating steps e)-f) with a second mounting rail, using a second security mounting bracket device, and a second set of bolts, nuts, and mounting channel slides;
h) optionally repeating steps a)-g) with one or more security mounting bracket device, bolts, nuts, and mounting channel slides to secure two or more security mounting bracket devices to each mounting rail; and
wherein a bolted joint is formed between each of the security mounting bracket devices and mounting channel slide.
