Default Lightweight battery box?

Do they make an Auto-X legal battery box for a Braille B14115? I'm having a hard time finding one.

I bought one for my 06 WRX from Summit Racing.
Braille Vertical Aluminum Mount Kit Part #211 (I Sold it used for $60)

I still have a
Braille Vertical or Horizontal Aluminum Mount Kit (for trunk mount) for sale. $20+shipping.

I bought a used
Braille battery for Auticross and had it for 2.5 years before I sold my car. The cranking power worked GREAT even in the PA winter! Loved it!

d00000000000d....when i had this under the seat of my bugeye....there was NO WAY IN HELL it was sliding around......it was stationary and you woulda hadda totally destroy the car to get it out unless you put the seat all the way forward and PULLED it out

my 06 has an inch or more space under the seat and it is not as tight

but...im still not worried in the slightest....and it would be nothing to get an old belt or some such to make it more permanent...it might take me 15 minutes to come up with something

this isnt rocket science
