That's all well and good, but a RHD car has the brake master cylinder and header tank where that battery is

but surely the bulkhead and scuttle panel arrangement are more or less identical, just whack the battery in next to the washer bottle... it certainly looks deep enough... and should fit even with the washer bottle in situ

put it where the washer bottle is in that pic, and get a washer bottle off an aircon car, which sits on top of the offside wheel arch
