What are people using to mount their 2.5 inch SSD in the 3.5inch bays of Mac pro (either 2009/or 2010)

Mines being held in by electrical tape, hardly ideal.
 
My first SSD is mounted in the optical bay. You can get at least one screw into the mounting and it sits there fine.
My second is using an adaptor from icy box that fits in the drive caddies perfectly, however OCUK don't sell them :(. Can't remember the part number though. The SSD sits inside the caddy, and the lid kind of pushes it into place to form box with the same dimensions as a HDD that will then mount to the Mac Pro drive sled.
 
I have two drives so thats no good! I havnt found any good UK Solutions really. Having in mind my electrical tape bodge job has worked for 2 years!
 
Yeah SSD's don't weigh much, but I wouldn't fancy it hanging there on tape. Place I got the caddy from is probably a competitor so can't really mention it.
 
I got the part as recommended on here and it works a dream!

However quite expensive at nearly 15 pounds a bay!
 
OCZ do a few different bigfoot and colossus SSDs that just go straight on one of the mac pro sleds with no fuss. The one I'm running is pretty much just a vertex 2E 128gb in a bigger housing. Does the job a treat.
