clean options for battery hold down/boxes

I am looking around for ideas to hold down my battery for my relocation. My plan is to relocate it to the rear between the 2 strut tops. I don't want to spend the bigtime money on a cnc machined holder which are only made for optimas. I;m thinking of ideas of things I could do to make by cutting, drilling, welding, or purchasing. Thanks

Oh, I was thinking about using a mini cooper battery. I didn't care to spend the big bucks on a super lightweight battery, and I still wanted a sealed battery with enough power. Anyone else with recommendations on sealed batteries with enough power that won't break the bank?

Build a box for the battery to sit in, use a flat bar with a couple j bolts to hold it down.
Make it so it just fits the box.

I prefer to wrap the bar in a couple layers of vinyl tape, just to be sure there's no accidental shorting when you're working on it. You can get some colored tape to make it look custom.
