Just been charging up lights for the commute now winter appears to be well and truly rushing in. Last year I wanted to helmet mount my flash/flare combo but never quite got round to it. Anyone managed to do it nicely? Ideally one behind the other, back to back.
Rummaging through the spares draw I just found a plastic clip with two pairs of prongs, if you know what I mean. The flash sits in one end quite nicely, particularly as it has a lip at the back of the metal body to stop it sliding through the clip. The flare however doesn’t have this lip so could possibly slide out of the other end of the clip. I might be able to rig it with a tight o-ring. Then I just need to figure out how to best mount it to my helmet, without damaging it too much. Alternatively I could try to get hold of a broken flare and use the metal part for the flash, this would have the lip required to hold it in to the clip. This probably means nothing without photos, I’ll ponder it some more and perhaps post some up tomorrow.
So, anyone found a good, neat way of mounting these on a helmet? If so, photos please!

PS I could probably just use the bar mount from the flash and buy another, but I’m trying to avoid paying through the nose for bits of plastic that still won’t sit neatly on a helmet. Why don’t they just make helmet mounts??!!
