It's like strips of metal, with holes in it for screws.
Here's a link to a pic. http://www.retrosystem.com/amiga1000-19.jpg

You can try using adhesive velcro-like interlocking fasteners, if the adhesive glue works in your carpet.

I remember one of these 3m velcro-like fasteners that had a picture of it holding a fire-extinguisher on a vertical cabinet door! Maybe you could even try putting your case vertically against the trunk side wall if it is flat enough(with one side leaning on the floor, of course).

I put my carpc vertical on the side of the trunk and attached with a strong velcro tape. I am very curious if it's going to stay that way.
