[QUOTE="Ms.PacMan, post: 1052949, member: 4656"] I copied the idea from another driver and it works great! The PVC pipe is not quite as wide as the lighted end of the flashlight. A little over an inch sticks out to grab. The frame of the DIAD holder is diagonal and the pipe is tied at the same angle. I originally tried to ziptie it myself but it has to be absolutely tight or the bumps in the road will make the flashlight pop out a little when you hit a bump so I asked the mechanic to secure it for me. He used 3 zipties and twisted them once or twice before tightening them down. I think this gave the ties a little bite against the PVC and the flashlight stays put now. If you're still getting a bounce you could attach a velco strap to the pipe that goes over the top of the flashlight. Very easy to grab from the driver's seat! Yep! It doubles as an emergency billy club if need be. [/QUOTE]
