I've lost the bolt which attaches the light to the Garmin mount (didn't particularly like the setup anyway) and the rubber strap mount is turf. Has anybody found a decent after market mount that's compatible. Preferably bar based.

The Hope Universal Handlebar Mount is great and bolts straight in - https://www.chainreactioncycles.com/hope-universal-handlebar-mount/rp-prod23533

Seconded, wish I'd just bought one in the first place.

Thirded! I used a spare rotor bolt to attach the Hope mount to the body of the light. Super sturdy.

Looks like the clamp is out of stock not surprised looks good value. I used an Exposure handlebar mount it is brilliant quality and secure (just had to change the bolt to the light) got mine of Amazon

Forgot you will need a cleat as well (which I happened to have) so if you have to buy a cleat and clamp going to be a dear job (certainly quality though if you source it cheap enough)

Mark Anthony AKA ActiveSport have the Hope mounts in stock (I bought one recently from there).

https://activesport.co/epages/80c85f8f-7a95-4b1c-9c30-e64b314f3f2e.mobile/en_GB/?ObjectPath=/Shops/80c85f8f-7a95-4b1c-9c30-e64b314f3f2e/Products/HLSP403&ViewAction=ViewProduct

Can confirm it does the job pretty well. It’s certainly nice and secure although it’s slightly fiddly to unclip since the arc of the QR cam lever fouls the light itself.

I just used a bolt that came with the Halfords light/mount but it’s just a standard (m5) bolt so most people should have one knocking around. A bottle cage bolt will probably work - it might need cutting down but you don’t need a small countersunk head or anything.

Nope, mine just attached straight on, no other parts required. Maybe used a spare screw, can't remember. Wasn't any more expense than just the clamp.
