Default Warn Winch Isolator Install Location?

I was able to snag a Badlands ZXR 12,000 winch for $200 new in the box the other day. I'm planning to mount that to my new LoD Signature Mid-width that just came in the post earlier this week. I bought a Warn 62132 Interrupt Kit off a fellow Jeeper about a year ago in preparation for this install.

I know there are mixed opinions as to whether using a interrupter/isolator is a good idea or not for a variety of reasons. For the sake of brevity I've decided to go ahead and use the interrupter regardless of the counter arguments. What I need help with is the installation. For those of you who are running something similar to this where have you mounted the solenoid? I've read of people mounting it directly to the battery tray but have seen no good photo's of this type of setup. Is it a solid mounting location? Does anyone maybe make a bracket for this?

Thanks!

Wise to use one, good choice.

Just to confirm, that's bolted to the battery tray? Did you use self tapping screws or are there nuts on the back?
