Horizontal Battery Mounting Options for AM14U5 (2023)

This year, for space reasons, my team may have to horizontally mount our battery. We are using a KOP chassis (AM14U5), and I’m wondering about the best way to mount the battery horizontally, as the only product to do so (in a space-efficient manner), am-2939, is discontinued, and we do not have a brake that would allow us to make something similar.
Any advice?

Last year we made our horizontal battery mount out of the battery mounting plate that comes with the kitbot: https://www.andymark.com/products/vertical-battery-mount-bottom-plate

We arbor pressed the part that sticks up and mounted it horizontally to the back of the chassis, similar to the am-2939.
