    Hi, I would be glad of any help in this.

    the nct. Failed on one issue. Battery mounting insecure.

    I replaced the battery recently. The original battery had a little lip at the bottom that a metal clamp sat over to secure it in place.

    Unfortunately the new battery didn't have that, so I fabricated a metal arm to hold it in place. The arm is bolted at the base at on side and sits over the battery. See pic. I was happy with it, but nct were not. Unfortunately I wasn't there on the day to quiz the guy.

    Anyone know what I could do with this?

    I'd get rid of the insulation foam. That's the only thing i see that looks off.

    It's only bolted at the front and looks too high for the bosch battery. I'd bet 20 quid that you can catch that battery and rock it even with your bracket on.

    Gey a flat bit of metal and a couple of bits of threaded bar. Hook threaded bar I to base back and front and fix down with bolts on threaded bar. You can buy similar in Halford etc.
