"modifying" microwave oven , RF safety

    I need to put a microwave oven at the back of a vehicle, door facing the vehicle windshield, and trying to find a way to secure it. If it sits freely and there was hard braking or rear-end collision it would be hurled towards the driver or passenger.

    The "case" is of course the typical one piece which forms the top and two sides, and the most obvious way to secure it would be to remove the screws at the bottom of the cover on the sides and back, mark out pieces of aluminum angle (secured to mounting surface) and then get replacement screws of the original length+angle thickness and run them through the angle and then into the oven.

    To me, I can't really conceive how this would be a safety issue, I would replace the screws with ones that protruded the same distance into the enclosure. But I don't want cataracts or something..

    I know no one on here probably knows but maybe someone could point me in the right direction somewhere to ask qualified ppl that wont just recite little safety tidbits they read in a manual one time.

    If I need to buy rf instrumentation or something else to verify emissions are still safe after "modding" I will, just need some pointers from someone that gets it.

    if i "rope" it down length wise it can still potentially slip out in an emergency braking situation. i intend to use a ratchet strap or cinch strap over the top to d-rings to supplement the side-brackets but as a sole means it sounds insufficient. if i cranked it down tight enough to trust it to hold in place in worst-case I think it would be so tight the case would deform.

    the surface isn't really deep enough to get a good triangulation to strap it depth-wise and I don't want to do that anyway because it will block the door and I'm not going to fiddle with ropes and straps every time i want to cook something or go drive.
