Shorty Battery Tray

Shorty Battery Tray
I'm trying to find a short battery tray for lipos. I have a plan for an extra RC8BE I have.
My plan is to flip the motor and run two shorty 2s packs. Much like the DEX408 configuration. I've already flipped the motor mount, and center differential. Using a smaller spur gear, I have plenty of clearance from the chassis.
The only other thing I'm trying to figure out is the battery mounting, I'm not looking for a drop in solution. I would highly doubt it exist, I just need to find a shorty lipo tray or if need be I can use a normal sized cut down.
I've looked at the tekno v3/v4 and while these are the most promising, they do not offer enough mounting points. The v3 only offers 4 screw holes, 2 on each end. If I cut this one down I would have to figure out another mounting method. My plan is to use counter sunk screws, to keep the bottom of the chassis flat.
I would appreciate any help find a shorty lipo tray, or a tray with more options.
Thank you in advance for any help.

I googled around and this one popped up, but not sure of price or fit?

I'll post pics tonight but the opening for the clutch leaves a big hole on the left side of the chassis. Leaves it kinda open to rocks and stuff from coming in.
