Mine is done very much like Larry's upper battery. It sits on a piece of 1/4" angle aluminum with a pair of long holddown bolts and a simple strap to hold the battery tight against the firewall.
I was told that with my battery sitting about 3 inches from the left exhaust pipe, my battery wouldn't last a year. The first one failed after 4 1/2 years and 325 hours. The second one is 4 years old with 210 hours behind it and still functions normally.
