A non-spring loaded variant I used is seen in Systems Work section on
my website (scroll down the menu on left - one of these days I'll
have to add a search capability on the site. I never dreamed it
would get so big) and there are 2 pictures of strake tiedowns and one
in the nose in rows 8 and 9.

I've since modified these since the swing arc interfered with wires
passing through strake. I sliced off about half and put little lead
weights on the end to "retract" them. Used the stick on square tire
weights
