Has anyone externally mounted an internal DI2 battery? If so, how did you do it?

Appreciate it will look horrible but only looking at a temporary fix!

Background: My SRAM shifters have died and I am reluctant to buy new ones as I was already planning a DI2 upgrade.
Urgently need the bike working for the next month (built within the week), before I can get it to the frame builder for the internal DI2 drilling. Was going to buy an internal DI2 upgrade kit and crudely mount it externally as the temporary fix. Cheaper than buying external kit and converting it. Shame the XTR battery mount isn't available yet as that might have helped.

Thanks for any help

Yep, tape and zip-ties could do it!

Perhaps my earlier post was a little hasty, I blame too much coffee. Think I have a better short-term solution as a local shop has Sram Red 2012 shifters on clearance which I'm due to collect tomorrow. If that falls through the cowboy solution is back on

Just build it with the regular battery and mount. Then sell off the parts when you build it properly with the internal battery.
