I just use 3m Dual lock on mine.

With heavy battery cables it won't move anywhere!

There is no mass so the Velcro is perfect.

Very impressed with mine as it also starts the high compression Busa which is known for making life hard.

Have they been tried on a on a high compression 2.0 Duratec - circa 13:1 ?

no one tried one on a Duratec............... ??

My Varley Li-5 starts my 420R 2L duratec absolutely fine - not sure what the compression ratio is though, somewhere around 11:1 I thought?

Thanks Chris,

CR on yours will be stock circa 10:1 which will give the battery a much easier ride, wondered if Simon had sold one to an owner with a tweeked Duratec?

Not sold one of these to a high compression Duratec.

But when selling other makes in the past they were able to start race Duratec engines but not my Busa. Known for being pigs.  Many run 24v systems to be them going.

The Varley starts my Busa with no issues.
