The edges of the sheet metal are not very smooth. That can be fixed with a bit of time and effort.

But I'm not sure there is much structure there. The sheet metal is thin. You can flex it by pushing laterally.

Can you use the inner seatbelt mounts?
The inner mounts are almost covered by the base. I may be able to bolt the rear of the battery box to the inner mounts with a bracket of some sort.
