Default Issues Mounting SBR Battery Box in Spyder

So I'm relocating my battery to the back. I have the battery box (sealed), cables, fuses, distribution blocks, etc... After stripping the interior and trunk I cannot find a spot flat and large enough for the box. I tried to get it under the top, but the x-brace is in the way, so is the reinforcement behind the back seat. So any ideas before I have someone weld in a metal plate to bolt this too?

Any pics? I tried to get the box in there and it wasn't happening. But I'll go try again.

did you remove the rear plastics?It does not have to be all the way in there to get 3 screws/bolts into that spot and hold it in place.

"+title+"

Quick google search brought this up, I know it's not the same box I sold you but it looks about the same size if not larger than the SBR version, not sure if that's a custom mounting though.
