Very strong double sided tape "No More Nails" can be purchased on a roll.
Around £5 for a 1.5 metre roll
Red for outdoor or blue for indoor.

I did suggest self drilling screws, but Cliff just ignored me yesterday
He even told me to shut up when I pointed out he was wearing valcro fastening shoes, and asked was it one of swmbo's requirements for letting him out of Devon on his own

Electricians silicon also pretty good if you tape it in place while it dries. Don't use bathroom silicon - it releases fumes that corrode electronic components. I know it's not considered "kind" to say no these days, but no. Just no, ok? And if it's not ok, still no.

The majority of 'professional' fits I've seen on our fleet have been secured with nylon tie straps.... The only way off for those is to physically cut them off.... May be worth considering as I've never seen one fall of our Transit fleet!

Cliff, just a quick thought... I saw where the tracker was fitted and how easily accesable it was (wont mention where on an open forum) "obviously open to bribes via PM's though "
But on a serious note, try to fit it back in as far out of view as you can (i would suggest it is fitted in one of the first few places id'e look for it "if i was a crook " so hide it the best you can pal

at least if it falls off you should be able to find it. It is better to have and not need it then need and not have it.
