Tom,

Hoffman Engineering Company in Anoka, Minnesota (as well as others) makes
Electrical Enclosures in fiberglass as well as other materials. Typically,
they have provisions for back mounting using bolt studs at the box corners.
You  might want to put an angle or channel across the back; using the studs
at the top and the bottom and use a 3 or 4 inch ubolt to tie to the angle
or channel.

You are likely aware that more than one mount manufacturer also makes
battery boxes, too? Any recommendations there?
