That was the same thing I tought off, but its pretty much the same from the other side too, again due to the strg servo and mounting screws. This is a design joke - there is no way straps/washer can work and if you use the 2 speed, its the same problem on the other side too.

While I've been reading here today, I see now the gorilla straps are not that highly regarded (crap straps indeed, lol!), so I guess I'll be looking for some wide velcro like you used Clodmaxx.

I guess this means I can't rely on these for my G2R either. Another parts quest begins....

Thanks guys!
