Hi Mike, all

 My "secret" weapon is a $20 bag of zipties from Home Depot.  It's a big bag
'o 1000 of 'em.  Drill 2 little holes, 1 on each side of the support, on
opposite sides of the tubing, and run a ziptie thru the bottom and over the
tube.  That keeps the ziptie head under the primary, and out of sight.

  Why 1000 of them?  They are as good as Duct Tape.  From TC work to holding
probably half my dirtbike together, nothin' seems to work better ;)
