Misc: Electric Starters Grosset starter solenoid mounting

[danno]

Hi
While I have the rear wheel and mudguard off my C Rapide, I need to fix the starter solenoid in place. The rubber clip under the battery cover broke and it currently just rests on the rear wheel frame. The stiff cables stop it moving around too much and I’ve put a rubber hose around it to protect it.
Just wondering if another clip can be obtained or maybe an alternative.
Any help appreciated.

What about a tye-rap on a tye-rap?

Easy.

Thanks. Yes, considering that idea.
Also a thick rubber band hooked over the battery strap bolts.

That solenoid is easily found on the internet and comes with the rubber holder. You can find it cheaply enough to be worth discarding. Don’t use it because only François’ has the correct spec.

Thanks. I thought the holder was specific to the Grosset kit. I'll have a look and see if I can get one, with a solenoid if need be.

Fortunately, I kept the old one.
A metal bracket bolts to the battery tray underside using a countersink bolt so it's flush for the battery to sit.
The only rubber holder I can find is this one. Looks the same:
