[FC] Battery tray

[Merv Krull and or Loretta Prosser]

Maybe have your local high school metal shop cut one to order... heavier 
gauge and paint it?
Or try your local sheet metal fabrication shop.... they will have stainless 
on hand. My mechanic BIL had his workbench covered with a custom cut and 
bent chunk of stainless for a very reasonable price....
good luck!
