How to increase contact pressure mach1

this is the problem usually, the gap in the mounting system they have.

so you take a credit card and cut a strip off the top where it doesnt have numbers and is flat.

now sand with 400 grit the side of the card you want to glue to the mach one bracket and sand the pegs on the bracket also, only enough to scratch the surface to give a good glue hold.
then cut the card in little pieces to fit the shapes of the mach one pegs.

then carefully superglue them on there.

and you should have a little better contact now. i think there is room for a double layer if you needed it. but it does make getting the metal mounting part harder to get on and off.

Cutting up the credit card was a great idea! Now just dont replace it.
