Default Battery boxes = where from?

Evening all,

Wondered if any clever PF'ers can help out? My Silver Evo has it's battery in the boot to make room for a large turbo instead.

I need a box for the battery though, as at the mo the battery is bodged into the boot using OE battery clamps wedged through holes in the boot floor. It works but is pants.

Where can I get a decent battery box from? For sensible money too I might add...

I'm tempted by this:

But wondered if there were other options anyone can suggest?

Si

Rally Design do a few mate. Don't forget to check dimensions... Got one of the small ones for my 106 (That I randomly got subframes for from you on eBay ) ages ago but ended up selling it as I didn't relocate the battery.

On a side note, has the old owner of the Silver Evo got another one now? Was at my mates and there's quite a tasty one outside his house again lol.

We have a winner

Thanks Dan Spot on for what I need, the large size is near perfect for the small Micra battery my Evo uses.

Yep, Ant now has a rare Evo 7 RS450 or similar, it's for sale already though at £21k

Good plan Dan, you and the other Dan above think alike!

Thanks Alex, found one they do on ebay, but was too small - ideal for a Varley Red Top which I don't have.
