Here's something about another way for placing the battery. My thoughts were: The battery is quite a heavy object and therefore must have a negative influence on the handeling of the car, when placed on a high position. So better not on top of the bulkhead. And if I'm adding a big lump of weight, don't pick the side that's allready much more heavy, bringing the car more out off balance. What if I can place the battery behind the seats? Maybe in a kind of cubby box?
And this is exactly what I did. Betweeen the fuel tank and the seats is enough room for some sort of cubby box. The difficulty was to make a construction that could be dismantled with the body fixed on top of the frame. With this feature I can dismantle the whole of the cubby box from the inside out, giving access to the fuel tank for example.
