Hacks / Bodges

Zip tie?

Chuck it in a vice for quick game of "Crushy-squash", or hit it with a hammer or something. This is the bodges thread, bodge it!

Meh, just enlarge the holes a bit: no need to try and do just one just to the outside, as you’ll probably slip and fuck it or yourself up. Not like there’s going to be a great amount of weight on it.

I would bring the closest edges of the holes towards each other a bit with a small round file. Trying to bend cast aluminium might end in tears (pun intended).
