Got my gear doors mounted using some 3/8" cable clamps from Radio Shack. 6 in a bag for under $3. I'll post pics when I get back from Chicago: going to a warbird event on Sunday, Aug 23.
Also, was able to piece my under belly exhaust thing and pop the belly pan back out, so it looks 'normal' again (well, from a distance anyway).
