I used one of these brackets....



Popped off the trim cover under the seat & bolted on the bracket.

The pack comes with two brackets, but I found that one was good enough to hold the Mag in place & was also easier to remove the torch, compared to having the two brackets. They get a fair grip on a Mag Lite.

A good source of torches & associated bits ‘n’ bobs, can be found Here & Here

If you’re looking for a pocket/glovebox size torch with amazing light output, you just can’t do better than a Surefire 6P They are just the "Mutts Nuts" Thumbs Up Same torches as used by the U.S. Military & police SWAT teams on their weapons.


..... & yes I do have a bit of a torch fetish Whistle

I think you just give it a slight tug and they pop off just like the side vents. Thumbs Up

Sorry for the delay, just getting back to this now Embarassed

The panel is just held on by some spring clips, so just grip it at the sides & give it a good firm tug & it should pop off.

There’s a discussion about fitting a MAGlite in this position on This Thread, where we also got a bit carried away with our enthusiasm over flashlights……..well I did anyway Whistle

(Please take particular note of my warning about the wiring loom, in the second post on page 2.)

Scroll to the last couple of posts on page 1 & the conversation continues on page 2.

If you have any other questions after reading that, just give a holler & I’d be happy to help Thumbs Up

You can never have enough flashlights & remember……..

“In a blackout the one with the torch is the hero” Cool
