Get an old inner tube and sharp scissors - FANNY'S YOUR AUNT

I dunno about it being the best clamp but a twofish lockblock will happily sit on the back shelf of the helmet.

I used the lid mount from deal extreme. The rubber mount fits quite nice into the vents on the xen. Then use zip ties/velcro ties at front and back of torch to strap on. I've used for a few weeks and good secure fit.

You do feel the weight of the P7 tho, I wear a brick on my head at working for training purposes. ๐Ÿ˜†

One of these mounts, and then attached to lid as shown. I've used combination of one cable tie and one removable strap so can still adjust angles a wee bit. Works for me.

The [url= http://www.fenixtorch.co.uk/led_torches/lockblock.html ]Lockblock[/url] one fits nicely around the "bridge" between the centre rails, but its not cheap.
(Sorry, no pic)
If you're not fussy then [url= http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.12000 ]THIS[/url] one will sit nicely around the rails, albeit off-centre.
I made mine a bit more sturdy with a big 'O' ring...

If you have a drill and tap, then [url= http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=12871 ]this[/url] is perfect, and excellent value

Unscrew and discard the double mount bit, and just use the M4 screw to go into a tapped hole in the torch body.

I'll be buying a job lot, and offering a modification service for P7's soon.

Cheers, Rich
