i pushed plastic toothpicks together with the 1,8mm springbar in the SEL-springbar-hole from both sides.
putting the toothpick down and towards the watchcase to have the smaller springbar positioned as needed. broke the toothpicks after they come tight.
now i still have a little play, but this time due to the holes in the lug that are too big now. will try to fix that with tape some day. but for now im very satisfied with the result. will see how long it will last.
had broke my arm, so not really able to fiddle around anymore at the moment.

Wow. Yours is even nicer!
I've also tried that with a wood toothpick but it was visible on the back side of the lug.
If you also put a plastic spacer on the inside of the SEL there should be no more play.

Ahh I see, when I read your OP last night it still wasn't there. Amazingly simply and effective mod, and saves me a hunt for the impossible v6s bracelet! Thanks!
