  • Ha, I would shim but its actually not possible. Once you come to fit it, you realise its an awful design where you have to clear your bars of everything and slide it on from the end - a two part clamp like an out front garmin mount would be so much better.

    TL;DR can't shim cos I can't slide it on the tubing.

    Pretty sure this another light model, but nicely done.

  • Better option is probably to lose the mount altogether. Looks like the bar mount is bolted on. Undo that and replace with a flattened pipe or piece of sheet metal

  • This is my thought - bolt is rounded off (possibly made of cheese) so will require a bit of work, but yes this is good thinking.

    Best bet is probably attaching to rack strut like above, meaning a can slide something on. Some kind of sleeve over rack strut with an arm which then fixes to the bolt.

  • Update - Took a second look at the toolbox through the lens of just a bolt attachment, then took another look at the rack mountings. Realised that all I needed was a right angle, and I could hang the light off one of the bolts going through the bed of the rack.

    Never throw away the mudguard mounting spares, that's all I'm saying.

    Sorry - dark photos that I can't be bothered to edit this moment.
