well, that's my problem for some freaken reason my Velcro also falls off. i even went to home depot and got some heavy duty velcros but for some reason the heat from my engine would make the velcro come undone. this would be the 5th set of velcros


i remember seeing some steel case ballast mounts awhile ago, but i can't find it now.

would you guys have pictures of how and where you mount your ballasts?

thanks guys

Make sure you clean the surface using alcohol or something before putting velcro on. Also remember that it takes roughly 24 hours for the adhesive to completely "dry".

I used industrial strength velcro and zipties to secure them. There's really no need to buy/make metal cases for them.
