Re: past year spikes

thanks guys that all helps a lot
our mounting surface this year is called corex- its a type of plastic shaped like corrugated cardboard- very VERY light
we also use the zip tie mounting system for ease of use
for the signal pins to the SPIKE we never had trouble with bent contacts to those devices but ill keep an eye on it, the glue idea is good, but i prefer to take a small zip tie and pull it through one of the wires on the signal cable and pull it then around one of the fast on contacts- because its nylon it shouldnt mess anything up. thanks for the trouble shoot guys and gals!
