Fastening the power wire to the Light & the pant

In this photo, the wheel pant is upside down, and we are looking in to where the wheel would be.  The rear of the wheel pant is toward the top.  The outer side of the wheel pant is on the right (where the light is mounted), and the trike itself would be on the left side.

What you see in this over-exposed cell phone photo is the grey power wire coming in from the left (near where the axle of the trike wheel goes).  I drilled a small hole there and fastened it with a red zip tie (to match the paint).  I then did the same at two points on the under surface of the rear of the wheel pant where it cant be seen at (except by ants).  At the 4th blue arrow from the left, I attached a zip tie to an oval piece of rubber I cut.  The rubber is basically a washer I cut to place under the bolt and washer of the LED strobe itself.  I cut the rubber slightly oval so that I'd have a tab which I could put a hole through and zip tie to.  The grey wire then exits toward the right out into the strobe near the second of the two strobe light mounting nuts.  I put rubber under each nut/washer.

I trimmed the zip ties after the photo.
