You can use the Fobus First Samco FAS3 mount but some shimming will be required. If you want to try my solution let me know and I'll try and get you a few pics of the setup.

That probably wont be easy...i know no one with a lathe..anyone know what would be good to use as shims around the house. I want something that wont be effected by the water or snow.

use the metal duct sealing tape. It is aluminum, make one layer try it then add as needed.

Quoted: i measured the difference to be about a 1/4" I would check out the hardware store. Look in the section with plastic or PVC piping. You may be able to find a section of plastic pipe, that you could split down the center making a shim that would slip over the light. Or instead of splitting it down one side only, split it in half, making two shims that you can place 180 out from each other under the rings. Hope that's clear enough. That's the route I would be looking at. |

Here's a few quick fix ideas -
Bicycle innertube wrapped to an appropriate thicknes. Enhancing what QUIB posted, go to the hardware store and get a piece of thinwall 1" diameter copper tubing and get a roll of teflon plumbers tape. You will then need to cut a section of the tubing to match the ring width. After that, split the copper tubing and actually remove a 1/4" or so (I'm guessing). Next, use the teflon tape to wrap the body where you want to place the ring & shim, the teflon tape will help protect the finish and you'll increase grip. Try assembling the copper tubing over the flashlight body then drop all of it in the 1" ring and see what happens. As soon as I get a chance I'll try this myself and take photos. One other option is the TRG Gear mount that will clamp varying diameter lights and equipment but I must warn you this mount is somewhat bulky - [img]http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2003-8/315352/am95006.jpg[/img] |
