You can make one out of an aluminum from LOWES and foam from wal mart.

This what mine looks like.

It's held by two bolts. One from the battery holder and the one that holds the bracket for the headlight. Just do the measurements and make a couple of 90 degree bends on the aluminum bar, drill a couple of holes for the bolts, paint it if you like and voila. I put self adhesive foam on the back side of the aluminum bracket and another foam piece between the battery and the metal wall (car) to make it more secure/snug. I painted it gloss black to make it look factory installed.
