Rear light mounting

[MacBludgeon]

Excellent bodge there Rob, I have the Madison rack which has a rear mounting attachment almost the same as you've come up with. However I'd say that yours is a better and sturdier attachment method, I think I'll have a go at making one.

I mount two of the smart flash type lights on mine, both angled a bit to get maximum coverage.

BODGE! ... splutter, splutter .... it's a finely engineered product!

I use two of those lights particulaly when touring - problem is if I use the brackets they are obscured by the luggage so I just put them in clear plastic bags which i tie to the pannier - from the rear looks like a large stroboscopic bumble bee - alignment is not a problem

I got a bit of broom handle, sawed it to about 4 inches long and used black cable ties to attach it to the rack, then just bunged the Cateye attachment on it, pretending it was a seatpost. Works fine.

H&S issues there - not fireproof and risk of splinters

this could work

It does - I have 2 of them
(Less expensive here.)

I have this bracket and it works very well, but be sure to use the zip ties as there is slight play. A rough bump could be enough to eject the light from the bracket.

What about using a P-clip wrapped around either the bracket or the carrier tubing, secured to the light by a self taping screw? (which Cunobelin mentioned). Pad out the fixing with inner tube to fit.

Wots a P-clip when it's at home Crep?

My solution was to turn a chunk of plastic to fit on the rear carrier. Ok if you've got access to a lathe
