Battery Cover - secret to keeping it in place?

[LaserTam]

Suspect the T350 is the same, but on my Tam I have a plastic cover under the wheel arch, which protects the battery. Attached by a 10mm bolt and a screw at the top (no idea why the are not both the same, but hey), and the bottom is shaped to clip under the outrigger at the bottom.

Trouble I have is that the bottom regularly pops out, so therefore does not clip on the tube. I have tried many times to tighten it up, with as much upward pressure as possible, to try and keep it clipped, but doesn't seem to work. Resulting in the tyre snagging it slightly on full lock.

So the question to the PH experts, whats the secret to keeping it in place?

I believe mine is Sixaflexed in place.

Both mine are attached at the bottom with small cable ties.

Single cable tie on mine through a hole at the top of the clip and round the chassis tube

Exactly the same as mine. I meant the same one cable tie on both my T350 and my Tamora.

It is a tough life

I made some stainless shaped hooks the same profile as the cover but extended the stainless greater than the radius at where it clips around the chasis.
works a treat

i will take a pic tomorrow when iam in the workshop.

Mine has the cable tie too

Cable tie at the bottom round the chassis tube (centre) and two bolts at the top. Then I seal it with silicone to minimise any water ingress.

I did consider the cable tie idea, but thought I would see what others had done first. Clearly that is the solution of choice. Duly cable tied.
Cheers.
