I made up a new battery tray this evening out of angle . I had a friend weld it up and it is now painted and drying in the garage . I will see how it goes tomorrow .
I found the existing tray to be unusable for this as it has one side that extends deeper than the other thereby preventing me from mounting it flush to the frame . It is also longer on that same side than the other - making it extend down past the bottom of the frame . Add to that , it has the tab for attatching the hold down rod preventing me from being able to lift and install the battery once the tray would be mounted to the frame .
