I used two plastic zip ties (wire ties) to strap the mounting brackets to
the sides of a hard drive (like a belt). I just made sure they lined up with
the mounting holes (on the brackets not the new drive) as they need to align
with the recesses on the chassis/stiffener in the Duo (where the screw heads
would have been located).
Worked like a charm.
I could not figure out how to make double stick tape work. If you put it
between the drive and the brackets, then it would be too wide to fit in the
opening in the chassis/stiffener. The tolerance is just too close.
