I've got the same aero bars as @hippy and had the same problem he described a few pages back
If you don't want to change the mounting width of the pads, a very simple bridge should fix it. Not sure whether hippy has gone any further with the idea, if he hasn't you could both save a few quid by getting two made at the same time.

I'd be up for that. Would it be possible to get a Garmin mount built into it, or make it 31.8mm in between the bars so you could mount a Garmin there?

I've got to the point of emailing FL but I need to pull my bike down and measure it up, which I don't want to do right now because it's all nicely ziptied together :)

That must have been you I spoke to at the start, blue Cervelo?
I had a nightmare day. First of all, arrived 15 mins before my start time due to traffic, with my bike still in bits, @onyerbike did a great job putting it together but I still started 39 minutes late.
10 minutes in, my left armrest had slipped so much that I started to get cramp in my shoulder trying to stay on the aero bars, and had to finish the ride on the base bars.
Official time 1:46, actual time 1:07, I'm just glad to have finished because despite the beautiful conditions, I was that close to sacking it off.
I've got the same aero bars as @hippy and had the same problem he described a few pages back - I'm sure the pads are torqued to about 8NM but are still slipping. Might just get some of the all in one things.
