I think there is a pic in my shed...
also this link in my build has mine and 6irths setup behind the rear seat. 6irths is quite nice with a compressor setup also.

So I'm up to installing the second battery with the plan being to do so behind the seat. I've had a good look at Kegsys via the pic in his shed, but I can't figure out what or how the battery tray is mounted to. Was the rear baby seat raised anchor point that on the MY2012 is right where your battery tray is, removed?
I can't see how a bought steel battery tray will easily mount with that raised screw down point left there, for two reasons. 1. I don't know what else it would be bolted to to hold it, and 2. The height is such that the battery is just touching the back of the seat. But I also don't want to cut out a baby seat screw down point unnecessarily...
I obviously want to make sure the battery is secure.
Also, were pre-existing holes used to mount the wood panel that the ctek and fuse box is on? Did you need to tap a thread?
I havent seen a post from Kegsy on here in a while, so if anyone else has done similar I'd be equally interested.
I'm considering getting a friend to weld up a battery tray out of 50x50x3 angle, but it's still a bit touch and go re the top of battery touching rear of seat (my battery is 120ah) if I have to go on top of the baby seat anchor point. I'm assuming I would also have to span across to screw into the middle anchor point that anchors the jack. That is unless I drill through the floor but I'd rather avoid that ...
