Re: Maglite install
I carefully held the maglite in place and marked around the brackets with a pencil. Shows up nice and erases when you're done
Then I took the brackets off the maglite, placed them inside the marks, and marked the pilot holes.

Re: Maglite install
Next step was to drill out the pilot holes. There are some wires under the seat but not attached to the plastic, so I just went slow and easy. The pencil marks show up better in real life, but you get the idea.

Re: Maglite install
With the pilot holes done, I threaded a small bolt (don't know what size, but I had 4 in my toolbox) through the bracket into the seat trim.
I also fitted a nut to the backside and tightened as best I could with my fingers holding it behind the plastic. They'll probably work loose since I didn't use locktite but whatever

Re: Maglite install
If you try and thread a nut and bolt like I did, move the seat forward or back so the floor bulge isn't in the way.
And there you have it ... two maglite brackets.

Re: Maglite install
One more pic to answer any questions about clearance. This shot is from the front of the seat with the door closed. There's between .5 and 1 inch of clearance from the door. No problem
btw, for lightsaber mounting, install the clips to the doorsill, so you can get to it without opening the door. (just don't activate it in the car ... those things will really mess up your dash)

Re: Maglite install
Another little thing you could think about doing with this.. Get another set of the clips and bolt (or epoxy) a magnet to it so you can stick the flashlight under your truck if you ever have to climb under to do work at night...
