Many have used very small plastic wire-ties to attach the drive to the old bracket. I got ambitious and made some adapter rails from Lexan to match the old brackets to the new drive. Wasn't really worth the effort frankly, unless I ever get around to using those as prototypes to produce a run of thousands of injection molded parts. Sadly, the market for such an item is small and shrinking every day. > And from experience, foam or other non-conductive (electrically) >material will work, but you need to watch for heat conductivity.

Excellent point, please do not use any sort of foam to support an internal HD. If you want to just shtick it in there, I've found hotmelt glue quite useful for such tasks.
