The 'W'

Was planning on using earth magnets to attach the 'W' to the top plate...but the stainless steel isn't magnetic 😔

I considered mounting these shelf clips to hold it, but the positioning would be off.

Experimented with a suction cup, but not sure how long it would hold on a ride.

So I put rubber washers top and bottom and ran the bolt through. Leaving this as inspiration, for now, but will fabricate a low profile hanger, in similar fashion to a plate hanger without springs.

It can be used as a bottle opener, so I want to be able to detach and re-attach it with some ease.
 
Sticking with the diamond grips. The color and pattern are too perfect.

@MattiThundrrr Here's your duel 😉

Going to tighten the screens all the way down. The thread pitch is way different, though the diameter matches, so I'll have to crank 'em down.

Get some peel and stick magnetic tape. Or some velcro.
 
Now that I see both mic'ed up steering arms together, I like this configuration better. Love the grips too.
 
As previously mentioned, the thread pitch on the mic screens are different than the pipe reducers. I tried forcing it through, and I got about 2 threads down on one side, but can barely get a single to catch on the other side. May need to file down a bit or try and cut a new channel with a dremel, as I don't have a tap that size/tpi.

I wonder if you could grind one side of your bolt a bit to create a makeshift tap?
