Default RE: Any mounting strap tips?

I have had the P200 slip so far forward on the Jet Luge (toward my head [X(]) that the only thing keeping it from going further was the glowplug. I found that with all the heating, cooling and stress the straps actually stretched a little. I wished the JetCats had a little more contained mounting system, like indentations formed on the case, but they don't. I ended up using strips of cut-up beer can as shims to take up the space. (finally... a good use for Budwieser). Also, just to make me feel better about what was happening behind my head, I put "teeth" on the straps by knurling the contact surface. The first one I scored a cross hatch pattern with a razor, the new one I rolled with a knurling tool.
