You just need to be careful when the bag is pulling down that no fabric is trapped or lifted from the part where it's not supposed to be.
That long shape would be perfect for the bag film tube as well, then use these style clamps to seal off both ends quick and easy.

Thanks for the tips. I tried to cheat the process and use Super 77 Spray adhesive in some of the trickier areas but that only lifted once I wetted out the fabric.
I think I should have started on a simpler (smaller) part which I could bag easy. I also have mount plates for F1 style mirrors (ali craft square) which would have been easier to manage for a first project.
Either way I am having fun and learning.
