I have a few items needing some welding (use box for amp racks you see), and have planned to have pieces run across from the larger sides of the battery box which will then also allow a joining piece to go over the top.

Having seen what was thought to be a secure battery in the boot of a 220Coupe end up in the passenger footwell on a visit to Elvington I don't believe it can be over-engineered. They are like lead missiles if you go from speed to zero in short space of time, like a crash. I certainly wouldn't like a 15kg lead weight hurtling towards me at 50mph+
