Chris and Brian,
Your feedback makes a lot of sense. I think Grant said it well when he

Thank you, Andrew (and everyone) for your patience. The response to

I tie around the Wald basket and the Nitto mini-rack. That is, where the
wire of the basket lays along the side rail of the rack, I use a
constrictor knot (several, two on each side) to bind them tight to each

If your tape moves around, trying wrapping first with electrical friction
