No cork, no clip. A dab of Titebond, and bridle strappedness was both served and assured. Those times I resorted to either corks, or clips, I still used Titebond to head off post installation attack syndrome. You know. Like the Indiana Jones movies where the dead always attack as he passes by. Pass by as you may, Titebonded bridle straps aren't likely to attack beyond the initial installation statute of limitations. It's a lock. I tend to approach these things from the standpoint that if you glue the weasel down in the first place, he won't be showing up to bite you in the bedoingus later, when you least expect, or need, it. In other words, always glue, and live long, loud, and large, gloating about the low failure rate of your repairs (statistically speaking). A decent glue joint today makes for minimal trauma tomorrow, at least in this instance. Endtrans - The Phantom, .....
