JOL/Gurney Straps

I read that if you want to use these on Odyssey Twisted (or similar) BMX platform pedals, that you have to cut/dremel/smash out the side pieces in the gaps, in order to properly mount the straps. Is this true? If so, that's a minus for me. I like running plastic pedals, since they are way better for pedal grinds. Anybody have any experience with this?

You won't have any problems using these with plastic BMX pedals.

If the straps don't fit just file the slots wider.
