AE86 looking to install a Braille battery

As the title says, I'm looking to install a Braille battery in my AE86. I'm deciding between these two

http://braillebattery.com/index.php/batteries/b129/#

http://braillebattery.com/index.php/batteries/b14115/#

I'm more leaning towards the first one just for the fact it's even lighter. My question is if anyone has any familiarity with installing these in their eight six? Wondering if I need to order the aluminum mount kid they sell or if I could make it work in my stock battery tray given that the stock battery is pretty small to begin with. Also, I realize the terminals are the wrong side but figured my cables should be able to reach if I just flip the battery around. Trying to figure this out soon since my battery's dead and would like to get something lighter as long as I dont have to break the bank and also have to order a mount bracket as well.

Suggest you write or call the vendor or the rep and state your needs and what type of battery will be replaced.

Theyre so expensive because they dont weigh shit. And the Braille is better than its competitors because it actually puts out decent cca (for its size)
