Step 3: Making the handle bar clip
To make the handle bar clip I brazed the M5 screw onto the pipe clamp.
I brazed them together as I have the equipment. Looking back on the project I could have saved some time and hassle by drilling through the pipe clamp so the threaded screw can bolt the clamp and torch body together.
The screw can then be bolted to the torch body. Not to tight as you'll crack the plastic but no so loose it will rattle loose after a few miles. If you get it just right some adjustment is possible when on the road.

As we are two peoples separated by a common language, I have just one question:
British English American English
TORCH FLASHLIGHT
SPANNER WRENCH
BRAZED ?? WELDED ??? SOLDERED?
Well done.
And the mount. Plumbing shops sell "Cushioned Pipe Clamps" which are just the thing for this.
