+1, and as I wrote in my very first introduction post "...Alan Moore: for all things electric/electronic, and I have - shamelessly - implemented several improvement project items as documented on his web-site."
When I made mine, I used 3mm thick aluminum with the following profile (turned out not to be 100% perfect, as I could only fit the battery switch within the space in a slightly tilted position - rather then fully straight):

BTW at waytek you can buy spare keys and plastic covers - so if you cut down the key flush (with a screwdriver slot cut in) as I did you can cover the whole thing up.

Even cheaper than Waytek! - $ 8.00! At this price it probably should be an automatic change out. Might fix a lot of phantom electrical problems. If nothing else,
it's new & you can clean the positive terminal too while you're there.

I'm not sure, but don't the pre '86 cars take a battery that is longer? It looks like you have a lot more room behind your battery then my 86.5 with a group 48. Someone here would know more about it.
Anyway, Problem solved- $ 8.75-
Brillman has some 19" ones which would be too long, but you could adjust the length by making
a "U" in it just behind the battery- wouldn't take much.
