Nice write up, goes to show some tips never age.
I just started my dual battery install and have nearly exactly the same setup. I bought a cheapie battery holder from Autobahn $30 all up, but had to make an S bracket to bolt on the side of the tray and hold it in place where it tapers off (see 3rd pic even though it's not super clear). For the S bracket I used an old bike training wheel that I cut to size, bent, drilled, painted and bolted into place.
I mounted the Redarc and fuses as seen in the photo's, as I'll be installing a Catch Can in the spot you've got the fuses and Redarc.
You've given me an idea on where to mount the fuse box as I was scratching my head for best location.
I'm also going to install some USB chargers (not cheap for what they are) and a 300W inverter at the back of the centre console, so kids can charge their devices and laptops.
I found Jaycar has the black flexible plastic tubing 10m for $15 or 10m for $10 for the slightly smaller in diameter.. Cheaper than SuperCheap by about $10.
Nice work, I'm just about to wire mine up and I've picked up some good ideas from this thread.
Funny thing is, the guy at the 4x4 where I bought the Redarc didn't mention anything about installing fuses or circuit breakers between the batteries and the Redarc.
