Firehawk rear battery

How did SLP relocate the battery to the rear in the firehawks? Where did they put it, what type of mount did they use, etc. I would really appreciate pics if anyone has any.

I think SLP may still offer the kit. It goes where the compartment is.

Here is a pic from #003:

EDIt: Screw it, I shrunk it down to only 400 pixels wide and it was still too big to attach.

You guys need to raise the allowed size a little!!!

I have PhotoshopCS and my own server for my website, it's just that I was in a hurry and all I'm going to bother to do it dig up the pic, resize it, and then attach it. I didn't feel like chaging dpi and then uploading it ftp tp my server and then posting a link. No big deal....

The battery is in the rear driver side "storage box" It also has it's own box that covers it.....

Awesome pics. Thank you! Any more of the other side showing the rear seat delete? What about the rear hatch area? Did the Firehawks without a roll bar still have rear seats?
