Im pretty sure you will need to seal the panel behind the rear seat, to create a firewall.

You only need a firewall if you have a fuel cell in the boot, and yes mate you must have an isolator if the battery is moved from it's standard location.
It must also cut the engine and all power when off. Basicly the charge wire has to go to the +ve on the battery and you pull power for the car from the switched side of the isolator not from +ve on the battery.
