My home made HID light mount.
I made up a bracket for my Trailtech HID light. It's a bit rough but you
can view it here. http://www.hyperactive.oz.nf/Light5/Light5.htm |

I got given an Echowell HRM for Xmas and it came with a bike mount that looks suspiciously like a Trailtech-mount-to-be. -- Dave Hughes | "I've found that nurturing one's Zen nature is vital to dealing with technology.

As did about 3 or 4 things on the bike in rapid succession IIRC. That wasn't a good night. -- Dave Hughes | If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the precipitate - Steven Wright |

The Lil' Pro has a 3/8" threaded hole, while the TrailTech web site says that the light requires a 3/8" hole, so it's not clear what the threading of the bolt on the TrailTech is. Worst case, you bolt a small rectangle of aluminum onto the rail clamp, which would also allow the wire to come out through the bolt hole. |

I've used similar rail clamps for mounting pannier racks and for a map holder, so I'm sure one could be adapted for a light mount. I sourced them from a Marine supply shop in Elizabeth St, Melb for about $9 a pair. For light mounts I've used reflector brackets. -- slaw |
