Default BATTERY RELOCATION PIC REQUEST

I recently purchased a T1 catch can but havent installed it yet. It mounts in the factory battery tray and so it looks like my battery needs a new home. im trying to avoid relocating to the truck area. Ive seen a few batterys mounted inside the wheel liner on the inside of the fender area. IS there a kit or mount that you can purchase or just inhouse fabrication required?

CAN you guys post how you have your battery relocated in this direction and what materials i need to purchase. Thanks for your thoughts and ideas on my mounting solution

there are a bunch of these threads, cant find them now so not locking, i moved mine up to right behind the radiator.

some put them where the washer bottle used to be in the fenderwell.

some move them to the trunk.

remember, with a relocate, to be nhra legal, you now need a kill switch.

Here's what I did on my teg. They sell a prefabbed battery tray for the odyssey batteries. We just welded that to the frame on the car and extended the battery cable to reach.

Does something as simple as this require a switch? If not, what mandates the switch? is there a distance maximum on relocation before the switch is needed?

We used a piano hinge to let ours swing out for easy removal and installation.

This is what I came up with. Only thing is that the bracket is pretty heavy.

Just imagine what would happen if the battery tray/bracket were to break while driving on the interstate
