For those that have made custom cabinets for their van, how did you mount and secure them?

Below is a photo of the rear closet and head banger that I am basically replicating, along with a kitchen cabinet that will be very close in design to what I have.

The head banger cabinet I think will be easy because there are left over holes to mount some bolts from the old AC condenser housing but looking for some tips for the rear and kitchen cabinet.

The best way will be to weld captive nuts to the body.

This will give you a tight and secure mount and the ability to easily remove your cabinets as the need arises.

Is that how the stock cabinets were mounted?
