I have a tape switch that came with my Scout Light. I want to mount it down in the "valley" between the two Picatinney rails, so it is out of the way and is easily reached. How do I attach it so it stays put?
It came with a self adhesive pad but that failed a long time ago and it's now a bit loose. Does anyone make a small clamp or other device that is more long-lasting than tape? Don't say duct tape!

Rubber bands do not last more than a month or two when exposed to LA air pollution. I need the mount to be solid after storage in the safe.
Maybe I can find or make two little spring clips that fit down in between the rails and clamp the switch against the bottom of the "valley". |

I went to the Surefire web site to look at that switch. It looks like a nice unit but I don't want one. Here's why. That unit places the pressure pad out in the open. Placed there, it far too easy to bump it and wink on the light.
Unintended, poorly timed wink on = bad news I have my switch down in the valley between the rails. I just need a way to ensure it stays put. I like those Larue clips. I like the way they can help control the wire, too. |
