You'll get the idea.

Don't mount the clip with a fasteners, use HOT glue instead or epoxy if you are worry. Degrease the ABS plastic before doing anything. Clips are 1mm thick aluminum, easy to custom-cut and flexible.

Thanks!!! Hot glue is a great idea....will it hold?? I didn't think of it I think am going a bit brain dead these days

So hook in the clips and glue the the tabs to the plastic...great idea!

Where did you get the clips from???

Just make them yourself. I'd say any aluminum of 1-2mm thickness would do the trick. Food grade tin can maybe, anything really

i have had issues with hot glue! but i have plastic mesh so it moves/twists, the metal mesh might be a better wtih hot glue, but if it acts anything like my plastic mesh AVOID IT! I have a 50% re glue ratio, and im using the industrial strength yellow stuff.
