    those are the ones

    if you want a smaller maglite (2 or 3 AA batteries), they make mini clip mounts for those as well. not sure about the non-mags

    if you are good with a drill meaning dewalt (or your choice of drill) in my opinion, there is no need to pre drill your holes. BUT if you dont use a drill everyday i would recommend it. but a smaller hole than the screws are provided. just remember you only get one shot at it. post a pic when you have it complete. good luck sir. :cheers:

    Thanks. And could I put the brackets on the flashlight then put it on the seat and mark the holes then drill? So it's straight

    yes, but you wont be able to mark the holes of the brackets. if you put one bracket on the flashlight, you will be able to put a pencil mark on the bracket edges so you can take the flashlight off the bracket and mark it that way. make sense?

    Did you happen to get in on the ArmyTek pass-around on this thread? VERY nice light, goofy interface, but nice/bright light.

    I love my streamlights. I wouldn't depend on anything else. I have:


    Stylus pro
    Stinger led
    Strion led
    Vantage led
    Survivor led


    The survivor and vantage are beat up, but they just keep working. I have had to send the stinger back to them and there customer service is amazing.
