Lee,

Another option, and one that provides a measure of protection from acid spillage ... a plastic marine battery box, which usually includes some kind of polypropylene strap to go around the box and cover. If you use that OEM hold-down from Ian's (or a piece of aluminum angle -- lighter, of course) and run the strap between it and body before tightening the clamp bolt, then the battery won't be going anywhere!

It is probably easiest to leave the cover off the battery box ... so cables are free to be routed more easily. You still have the acid spillage protection, and that is a big plus in my book!
