Oh, don't get me started about THAT damn thing.

Since it's impossible to get those things tight enough, I had this great idea to make a leather shim that wraps around the fender (then the bendy piece of metal goes around that. Worked kind of nicely, kept the bracket from scratching the fender, etc. Except that the leather I had was too thin, so I had to make it double layered. And I didn't do anything to make them stick together, so I'm sliding this thing along the fender, and these layers of leather keep creeping out in all directions ...

Hmm. Maybe this is not the fault of the equipment ... but of the equipment OPERATOR!
