YES!! That was my own handy work. (I didn't know I was such a do-it-myself kind of guy). I found some aluminium bar in the shed, drilled out as many holes as I could along the center line then attacked it with a file. Painted it using a paint pen. Under the bar is a piece of plywood (also paint penned) and under the ply is a piece of Sorbothane. The battery sits on some more Sorbathane then some more plywood. This means that the battery is sandwiched between Sorbothane; no vibration getting through. The battery is a Voltphreaks VPH 750. Beside its weight the thing I like about this battery is if the voltage drops below a certain value it switches itself off. I have come back to the car after it sitting for about 2 weeks, opened the bonnet, pressed the button which you can just see in the pic (with green led) and car started no worries.
(Mmmmm, that turned into quite a story, I wonder if I can sell the movie rights.)
