Secondary Battery tray options - group 27

[Wile.E.Coyote]

I acquired a good group 27 battery for free and was planning on setting up a secondary battery system. Having trouble finding a battery tray option that will install without modification and fit a group 27. Would like to mount underhood passenger side aft of air intake. I could make my own, but hoping for suggestions of options that I haven't been able to find. Thanks.

Hi. That's a pretty big battery even in a six cylinder. I put in a optima blue top and it works great with room to spare in my V6

Indeed it is pretty big, but it was free so I'd like to use it. Did you mount the blue top as a secondary on the passenger fender?

Yup. Here are a few pictures. I'm using part of the Painless dual battery kit. I don't like the switch so I swapped out to a Carling Contura. Looks a lot better.

I bought a generic/average tray off Amazon and fabed my own support out of misc. wood. I've seen some guys make one offs out of metal, but I'm not setup for that. I choose pass side near bulkhead because it seemed like the most clearance from the hood. I'm worried the top posts might contact the hood anywhere else.
