first plan seems spt on, to you need some form of breather foor these battreys, or is that only the "normal" 12v ones when there in a box

people only seem to sell the ally bracket ones, no enclosed ones,

your initial plan seems fair enough can get some small racket straps now tho

Holes for a rachet strap will be quite big wont they?

I have an Alu tray for the current battery, but will be getting rid of that as this battery needs to be in a box for TimeAttack regs :/

I have an aluminium home-made strap with some rubber sheet to keep it all still, worked a treat so far!
