trim the straps down with a flap wheel on a grinder? its only 3-5mm
will take seconds on 1.6mm steel. and if the lip wraps around, you won't see the edges if they're not completely straight

Use a few layers of heat shrink.

Just split the rubber down the middle and stick it to the strap. If using 20 mm rubber = 5 mm gap underneath

You can do it quickly. You can do it cheap. You can do it right. – Pick any two.
