I like the this new room. You can swing a cat around in here without hitting a 601 builder. I’d like to here some comments on my battery set up. Traditionally there was a battery box over the battery. I didn’t put one in, nor do I see the need for one. This is a modern fully enclosed battery. Leak proof and (according to Nuckolls) you can drill a hole in it and not only is there nothing to leak out, it should still work fine. (and there's nothing back there that can touch the terminals which will have Rubber boots on them) Attached is a pic. My concern is that an FAA Inspector will not like it and insist on some stupid fiber glass box (I have one that came with my Fuse kit. By the way. I Plans built my wings and then switched to partial kits. After seeing the contents of the partial kit boxes I still consider myself a Plans Builder……………….. Geoff Heap

Further I don't think that the box would contain a small explosion and blow out the bottom skin. I don't think it would contain a gas leak. I do think there would be a lot of Fiber glass shrapnel.....Geoff

That is how I did it. I had a Canadian inspector instead of FAA, and he did not bat an eye. In my case the battery is in cabin, up against the firewall, in front of the passenger.
