Yep, all of the above will work for sure. If he drills some holes and puts the tape through the holes, use the alligators if possible and tape with black electricians tape to keep the two legs apart. Soldering to the tape can release the glue on the tape if you aren't careful. Don't forget to try some H.O.'s on your skidpad. Make sure your P.U.shoes are flat and you will be surprised how well they will run.
