It's there to add some lateral rigidity in case of an accident basically.

also it might help if you increase the CSA of the earth strap from battery to chassis and on the gearbox to chassis
It's not enough for me to worry about but I'll bear it in mind...

Did it after the MOT to be honest, but yeah I'm looking around for the box top, if I can't find one I will get one of those sealed container things.
Also, there is a nipple on the battery to vent it to atmosphere, so I just need to hook up some pipe to that and whack it through the boot floor... battery acid all over me doesn't sound fun!
