Electrics in TLR 22

[Biscuit]

Hi folks. I am trying to mount a Speed Passion GT 2.0 at the front of my 22, but it is too big! If I remove the battery brace, am I in danger of damaging the speedo in the event of a head on crash? I am considering using a plate to locate the battery, with the speedo on top of it. There is not enough headroom to mount the speedo + fan on the top of the motor.

Thanks!

Pete
