battery in boot mk1 escort options?

[mk1super]

Right i wanna mount the battery in my boot preferably rear wheel well so it looks stock ish rather than a box bolted in. Now ive been told though i wont get a tray to fit in there that will hold a modern decent sized battery but really wanted it in wheel well with a clap over the top to hold it. Thoughts suggestions links?

i got a aluminium battery tray on the wheel well with a good sized battery fitted i just made my own mounts to fit the tray you can use a twin cam tray that will fit but they are very expensive

One small issue my wheel well on the on passenger side doesnt have the dip in it, its the same shape as fuel tank side if that makes sense

with a welder an grinder anything is possible

if you put the tray in the wheel well you then have to put spare wheel in middle of the boot which takes up more room than a battery box, why dont you get a red top gel battery and bit it under the passanger seat on its side and they give out a lot more cranking power than an acid battery and it also means your battery cable will be shorter giving less voltage drop, i use one of these but its mounted on top of the tunnel but i dont run a heater

depending on what type of car your building mine has a red top in the back of the navigators foot rest.should be able to see it on my thread i think its page5 or 6.
