Thumb rest alternatives for Ridenour clarinets?

I've just purchased a pair of Ridenour clarinets, the Libertas in Bb and the Lyrique in A. They both have the same adjustable thumb rest, which is fine, but I'd like to be able to attach a neck strap and will have to either bend the slider portion of the rest outward to be able to hook the neck strap to it, or come up with another solution. I spoke to Ted Ridenour today and he thought that he remembered someone coming up with a cheap and easy alternative several years ago, but couldn't recall it at the moment. I'd like to avoid putting new holes in the instruments, and the Buffet thumb rests with the ring for the strap would require that.

Anybody here in the know? I'm really enjoying these new instruments!
