Even still have LH front corner space for dual battery. A little bit of a fiddle to remove element for replacement/cleaning though, but worth it I reckon.
You should be able to get hold of one from anyone wrecking an oldie, got mine from a LR workshop/parts guy, cannot remember how much it cost, but it is all steel not plastic.

ANY CHANCE OF PUTTING UP A PICTURE OF THIS SET UP MATE? THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I AM WANTING TO DO NOW ASAP. CHEERS
