Help with my Magicshine MJ-808 please!

No modification - you unscrew the rubberised plate then fit direct to the hope bracket. You may need some silicone sealant where the cable goes into the body (I would do this).

Brilliant - thanks - I'll give this a go.

Really appreciate all the advice on here.

fossyant - is the purpose of the inner tube to make the handlebar wide and harder for the light to slip?

Sorry - I'm not the mos technical person on here by a long chalk!

Yes, increases the diameter of the bar and is also rubber so grips the bar preventing slippage (wash off any talc as this will cause the tube to slip).

Sorry DJB I missed your comment!

I'm not sure what is causing it to be honest.

What is CRC? Sorry - total beginner here

It's okay, I was in a bad mood this morning!

Thanks to you all - so great that people are willing to help rank amateurs like myself!

It's fine - many of us are "old dogs" and been about abit ! Old inner tubes have lots of uses. Certainly where lights are concerned

Update for you - the inner tube trick worked an absolute treat!! Stayed in position all the way home, in wind and rain last might.

You are geniuses

I do have a mount on order so will look at that when it arrives, but in the mean time, the tube is a life saver (quite literally).

Thanks for all of your help and advice.
