There just always seems to be some clever little clip that piggy-backs on a a fastener/integral to another piece - or with a little more longevity than tape but I guess I can't expect something as elaborate as the mercury capsule hold downs inside the engine. Also might just be a little bitter about the stains left on the side of the Pullmors :-)
The point made about alleviating strain on the solder connections is very interesting - thanks for the feedback everyone!
