My personal experience with one of these was not good. I was driving my
Europa through the Poconos one dark October night in '79 when the holder
melted and the inner spring separated the whole thing. The headlights went
out and I pulled off the road onto the only shoulder area in 15-20 miles by
virtue of the U-Hauls headlights behind me. Had to tow it from there (that's
when the brakes burned up, but that's a whole 'nother story). No inlines for
me anymore. Make mine metal clips firmly in PC board material or Bakelite or
phenolic of some type, especially NEVER in my plane!
