Default flush mount plastic 9v battery holder/compartment with cover?

Does anyone know where you can order a plastic 9v battery holder with
a snap off cover that flush mounts in a project box, guitar body, etc?
It would be like the AA battery holder in this Synsonics Terminator
guitar except for 9v:

So far for a 9v battery, the closest thing I have found is this:

except this doesn't have a lip that would allow you to cut a hole in a
project box (or in my case a guitar body) and screw it in so it mounts
almost flush to the surface of the box (maybe about 1/8" or 2/8" would
project out from the surface, the lesser the profile the better).
Also, the cover slides off to the side but I am looking for one where
the cover lifts off straight up (again to facilitate mounting).

Any tips appreciated!
