Mark the center of these elements with a sharpie & slide them through a cross till they're centered. You might need to sand the "stop lip" inside the cross a bit to make this easier.

Cut 4 pieces of PVC pipe about a half inch long. These "keepers" will hold the tape centered in the reflector & director crosses. Sand off any burrs.

I used a "C-clamp" to squeeze the little "keepers" into the crosses but a vice would probably work as well or better.. They can also be tapped in with a hammer if you're careful & use a block of wood or dowel as a driving pin. Make sure your tape stays centered.
