If you don't want to move the battery, how about building a simple topless
box to shield the worst of the heat? If the batteries are smaller, which I
think they are, you could even add a layer of the thin aluminized sheet
insulation available at Home Depot, etc.
Since our 2000 is currently sans floor padding or carpeting I'm going to put
some of that stuff on the driver's side of the tranny tunnel which gets VERY
hot. Maybe I can help that some when I get the exhaust redone in the next
few weeks.
FWIW,
Ron
