I would like to thank Ken
Flesher for this idea. That's what is so cool about the 'Net. You can
see other people's rigs and get some ideas for your own rig. Ken had drilled
into the cross member behind where the Husky floor liner goes and he had
to do some trimming on his mat. I just ran some small bolts right through
the Husky and the MagLite's holder are fastened right to the Husky mat.
The mat is strong enough to hold the light clips. You just have to pull
the light out gently one end at a time. I may reinforce the back of the
mat later if needed.
Its a big light, 4 D cells.
I was going to mount it on the side of my console, but I hate having to
drill holes into anything I don't have to. I think the mat idea is going
to work out very well.
I opted to put it on the passenger
side as it would be out of the way better. Still, where it's mounted it
should not be a problem with anyone getting in or out, or in the way.
G.I. Joe's have a terrific sale
on these the week of 3/12/2000.
Maglite also has a website, complete with some pretty cool Flash animation.
The part # for the Maglite clips
is:
108000426
for the D cell Maglite's, and
goes for $5.99 at GI Joe's.
You can get one from a local
store, or go to their website and call
them up and they will ship you a set of two clips in return for your
# off of your credit card.
