Rather than tacking, perhaps something so deliciously low tech and reversible as a couple of twisty ties to secure the arms in place? Hell, just wrap thread around them! Remember, all you need to do is stop the arms from swinging outwards with centrifugal force.
I'm taking signal straight from VR, so sorry, you aren't unique!
Mike, Pin #36 goes straight to your coil (or just tap it into the slate/white which goes to the coil). MS does the rest so long as it is getting the VR signal from the dizzy and you have the right parameters set (see my .msq in my project).
