This would seem simple enough, but it turned out the be tricky because the three separate pieces I had to mount to the block were now soldered together.

First, I added a small block to the base lift the board off the surface and make room for the battery. Then pushed the lamp base into the hole until it was snug, running the wires down the escape trench I had cut.

Then I attached the board to the block using the two screws that originally held it inside the flashlight.

Finally, I attached the power winder to the other side, using two of the original screws and an old mirror mounting piece I found in the garage.
