On my DB12R I shoe goo'd the servo in place since the servo I had was missing the ears. I since fixed my Airtronics 94145 servo and mounted that in the car instead. With the BMI mounts I had the same concern...the servo would fit but had more strain on the wire then I liked. I switched to some Darkside servo mounts that I had which are just a slotted L shape and that fit real well and gave me more servo mounting position options. Problem is because they are slotted if I take the servo off for cleaning it is a pain to get lined up again. So if I plan not to take the servo off again I might as well go back to using Shoe Goo. I'll be doing that later this week.
