Second battery in rear wheel box?

I'm trying to figure out where to fit my second battery in my 90. It won't fit in the battery box as I already have that space full of other crap, wiring mostly...
I was thinking of the rear wheel box, in front of the wheel. Will be super handy to run the cables in to the main battery box.
Only need to be able to mount it and protect it from flying stones. As there are no side lockers available for 90s can anyone think of a handy solution? Or have anyone here done this already?
There are lots of marine battery boxes on eBay but I don't think they would be easy enough to mount and not really durable enough. Other ideas???

Clear out all the crap in to the driver side box and put the second battery under the passenger.
Put a smaller battery under the driver's seat.
Put it under the cubby box, you can get boxes that fit there.

The battery box is out of question.

Been measuring in front of the wheel and there's enough space there. This will solve many of my wiring problems actually.
Will have to get a suitable box I can modify and take it from there.
