Make a box.
Imagine a cross of ally the same dims as the battery, fold up the sides, then fold back to form a return egde, this sits through the scuttle. Tig up
the sides or PU some angle over them.

I have done exactly this with my pc625 but sunk it 4" into the area above the gearbox in the centre of the scuttle tray panel.

engine bay wiring
ps my battery box was made from ally simply from a cube style net, then folded round some 4x2 and rivetted carefully in a couple of the corners. not
very difficult at all. get a bit of ally from a diy store and give it a go. can easily be done without a tig.
pps its a tight fit in teh box but will be bending up a strip of ally to go over teh top to retain the battery. the box is rivnutted to the ally panel
it sits in.
