<--- Very, very new to this.
Since it seems like most of the issues are the cells expanding after/during charging, how about putting the cells in the smallest battery box they will fit in and filling the box 90% of the way up the cells with an epoxy such as west systems 105. You could leave a slight gap between cells (I read somewhere it is possible for these cells to slightly leak to the case?) to ensure no movement is possible in any direction other then to stud side. Of course this would making changing a single cell pretty much impossible - Could apply a PVA and hope replacement cell is exact. Balancing would have to be done with a flexible cable.
