Default Lightspeed with Foggles question

I just bought the Hood Lamb and had to send them back. They simply would
not clamp to my David Clark H10-13.4 which have a narrower than usual band.
To their credit, they acknowledge this problem with DC's and suggest
friction tape to increase the girth of the band. Didn't work...to
rinky-dink for me. I replaced them with the kind with a head band. Not
sure they'll work with glasses, but I think they will.

OK, I'd like to tap into the ingenuity of the group here.

We have Lightspeed headsets. We use Foggles for simulated
instrument training.

I don't like it, because the earpieces of the Foggles create
a sound gap.

I saw a cool product for IFR training which clipped onto
the band of a headset with tiny little bands, and flipped
up and down to limit one's view or move out of the way.
It's called the Hood Lamb (for example:
http://www.pilotshop-usa.com/store/i...PARTMENT_ID=78

Unfortunately, it only fits on headsets with steel bands,
like DC's or Sigtronics.

It looked like something a clever chap ought to be able
to duplicate with a bit of ingenuity, given the requisite
parts -- some kind of swivel, and some kind of clamp which
would fit the wider plastic band of the Lightspeed headsets.

There is a clever chap in our house.

Can anyone suggest a source of little clamps and the like?
(ie a widget catalog?)

Thanks!
Sydney
