Default RB6 battery brace

Im looking for a longer battery brace, as I want to run my saddle lipos at the rear against the motor guard (mid motor). I have found the kit item is just too short and the Rudebits item is just about 1mm longer. But i think it might move under a crash.
Any suggestions?

JConcepts Monroe brace might be longer. I can measure it later on to be sure.

Im running the cells right against the motor guard. To do so i have removed the mounting holes for the second part of the brace.

The rb5 one will mean I could not run the esc infront of the lipos as the design covers the area where the esc will go.

Ive been running my cells in this configuration for a while and I made a small carbon 'shoe' that I screwed to the motor guard.
