Default Custom Dual-Battery setup in XJ

Just thought I'd chuck this up in here. I know it's already in the XJ area but it would be good to get some feedback/advice from here.

Due to my LPG system, I can't run a normal dual battery setup. So after some research I decided to go the American route and replace the air box with a battery tray.

My only problem now is the pod filter. Is it good enough?
It is pretty well boxed in between the battery, ABS unit and the wheel arch so I'm fairly confident it'll be ok in terms of dust and dirt, but I'm not 100% confident.
GoJeep suggested I get an XR8 Pod filter and put on the other side but I'd prefer to try and make something up myself as I don't want to just throw away a brand new $90 filter.

Any suggestions??
