Piece of innertube works as a quick fix just need to experiment with the size for the optimum grip

tomfun - I've got plenty of silicon o-rings for mounting lights (silicon is better than nitrile for outdoor use).

You can have a couple of each size - email me your details. No charge - just drop a couple of quid in a mountain rescue tin next time you see one.

Cheers for the help folks.

Neninja - thanks very much for the kind offer, i'm very good at losing these so for the sake of a couple of quid i'll get the 25pk from ebay.

I'll still chuck some funds in the Mountain rescue tin next time i pass one 😉

Those Ebay ones are only 3mm - that's really thin. You really want 5mm thick o-rings.
