An update on the film canisters light mount:
I had an idea whilst riding and noticing that the Cateye I had strapped to it was growing dim - drill 3 holes in the plaster of Paris to hold spare AAA batteries for the light.
Unfortunately, drilling plaster of Paris is a ball ache and tends to ruin the whole thing, notably by detaching the bolt head that was glued to the canister and by chewing up all the plaster in undesired ways.
So, new film canisters have been procured from the very helpful and awesome @hoefla. PVC tubing with an 11mm ID has been ordered cheap from eBay. (AAA OD is 10.4mm)
The new ones will have the bolt and the tubes epoxyed to the base, before pouring in the plaster of Paris.
I am pretty excited about version 2.0.
