Default Well Nuts

Does anybody have a good trick to keeping these friken well nuts in place? After installing a LED headlight in my RK, the heatsink on light and wire bundles on bike are stuffed pretty good. What's happening is the rubber well nut is pulling through the holes in the nacelle. I'm thinking I may have to take all apart again and try nutserts from inside nacelle.

You are probably tightening them too much.

You may have to rearrange the wiring. It looks like most of the wire are in the center of the headlight bucket right we're the headlight intruder the most.

I have them for my leather saddle bag mounts. I coated them with rubber cement, shoved them in and let it dry over night. Seems to be working.
