The burning point of paper is over 200°C. So unless it comes into direct contact with something that hot, it's not going to burst into flames.

A paper battery mount?
It certainly isn't pretty, but it was what i had on hand. it is not an ideal solution, but it works for now.

The combustion point of paper is 451°, like the book. But temperatures can get hot in the engine bay, and i just wanted to make sure. It is not touching anything at all but the battery tray on the bottom. I highly doubt any track would let me on the way it currently is.

What is the normal temperature or the engine bay? I thought it was rather high?
