I would if it didn't take me forever to make. :) I suppose everything has a price, but would probably be more than anyone would spend for simple battery trays.
I basically lay out the shape on a piece of flat Aluminum (6061-T6 works best IMO for good non-cracking bends), cut it out using a hacksaw, trim using a nibbling tool, dremel and file until the edges are perfectly straight, and then bend the tabs up using a vice and a hammer. As you can imagine, it's a little time-consuming.
A metal shop could make these easily and quickly using the "proper" tools... providing you can find one willing to do it. I had a local shop make me a set and was not happy at all with
the results and ended up making my own despite the effort it took.
