Spot on. Where did you get the gland for the tank bag, it looks very professional.
It does, doesn’t it
Here is how to do it.
Purchase the connector.
Work out on your tank bag where you want to put it, using the metal washer of the connector as a template and having in mind that you will have a power cable coming in from the outside and one on the inside. In short, don’t put it in the wrong place.
When you are sure of the best position, clamp the metal washer to the outside of the bag, clamping a suitable sized small block of wood to the inside. In essence you have clamped the bag as the meat in a sandwich between the metal washer and the wood, holding everything in place. Take care that any lining in the bag is neatly clamped too as, as once the holes are cut, there is no going back.
Using the metal washer template as a guide, use a small gas powered soldering iron with a pointed tip to burn through the fabric of the tank bag, continuing to burn until the tip of the soldering iron reaches the wood support. It is not a long process. The advantage of using a hot tipped soldering iron is that it cauterises the nylon of the bag, as opposed to ripping it as a drill might do.
You will now have holes in the bag. The newer versions of the connector have done away with the four mounting bolts, using a single nut instead. This makes life easier, as it’s a bit of a fiddle lining up the bolts to go through any lining material the tank bag might have. Use a piece of wire, just to line any inner fabric up and then slot the bolt through. Be patient, it’s not as hard as it might sound.
Offer up the connector to the bag and secure in place.
I have adapted several bags this way. Take your time and only burn when you are sure you have everything clamped in place.
The gas powered soldering iron, you’ll find them online easily enough on line. Something like this... You do not have to watch it all....

The little plastic clamp are easiest if they ratchet closed, making it easier to clamp one handed than a conventional small metal G-clamp. Something like this:

You do not need to told everything in a death grip, just deep and hard enough to hold it in place so that it doesn’t move when you are burning your way through your tank bag.
