I just finished this project.
1. I bought two packages of padded clamps off Amazon. Cheap and stainless. Easy to cut to custom length and reshape. Seems like I posted something somewhere. Slept since then.
2. No way my gear leg fairings would fit over them with pads.
3. Gorilla is very tenacious stuff. No worries about slippage.
I also had to go with #10 screws and metal lock nuts. No room for standard bolts and lock nuts.
