Default boot mounting battery

I know I can obviously buy a box, the cables etc all seperately, but does anyone know of a decent supplier for a complete kit for remounting the battery in the boot that will get it to me by thursday, as if i go and ebay all the bits seperately im sure some of them wont get here in time.
not got time to go and pilfer from a bmw at scrapyard etc as im away till friday and got loads of other stuff to do friday morning so want as simple a solution as possible to get hold of.

Demon tweeks are an option, but obviously they charge like a wounded bull

That would be ideal mate, but im unlikely to see you to collect it before friday sadly, unless you are going to middlesex RS tonight?

off the top of my head I need:
Battery cable (can just chop up jump leads if I need to)
connector block under bonnet
Enclosed battery box (will sink into floor)
an isolation switch for the battery
battery terminals
earthing post to weld or bolt onto the chassis

Think thats about it.

Trouble is, like I said, i need the whole lot at my place by thursday to stand a chance of doing it as only got a few hours free friday morning and still have engine mounts and an oil change and some brake alterations and a few other things to do as well, so no time for any messing about.

Thanks ronnie, have used them before for smaller stuff but didnt think of them for this!
Paul is going to try a local trade supplier in a bit and see what he can come up with and run them over to me tonight (top man!) but that will do for anything he cant find

looks like just the battery box im not sorted for between paul and VWP now, so will just order that from somewhere.
