Knot Theory

davetheshoeman · July 9th, 2007, 02:18 AM

G'day All,

I have tried cable ties to attach a clip to the butt of the light, no luck. Does anyone have any suggestions for tying the clip to the base?

I spent two hours last night and a bottle of red and no luck, nice merlot! It is probably very simple but alas no luck.

Cheers
Dave

This link does a nice job of showing how to go about it:

Thanks cys, great link but it still doesn't solve the issue of how i get the clip attached to the base whenn there is no hook there.

Tricky.. I would try either two bottles of red, or a scout light.

LOL CYS,

I went and tried some of my brothers cable ties, used two of them and some reel line. What do you think?

O and i agree with you about the scout, very tempting.

cheers

Get a different torch

The dirverite express page is an excellent ref.
I make an extra lateral line, which gives the whole thing a great look. The knot on my main reg has lasted well over a year now and is the envy of all who see it!

I just can't figure out how the heck I got it!

To borrow a line from another thread "my eyes are burning." Very ingenious, though.

I think it could be done by with a nice knot instead of Cable ties.
But changing the torch would look even better. :-)
