Not that I know of.

That would be a great idea. 3d printing?

worried about battery acid? Use vent hoses so it trips to the floor

I put a piece of rubber mat between the battery and the tray on mine.

Except the battery hold down mounts to the battery tray. So deal with that somehow. Then tray needs to support the battery in a collision without breaking, or the hold down work around is now a failure With the battery coming loose.

and yes lots of people don’t use a hold down.

New 3d idea, make it a plastic insert into the tray with a nipple on the drain to go through the opening of the inner fender that can attach a rubber hose down closer to the ground or use an acid free battery because I have seen battery cases get damaged in collisions.

Late 50’s Chrysler products came with those from the factory. They won’t for 60’s cars.

Spray it with bedliner.

Buy an AGM battery.
