Garmin etrex mount

Had to share this, really simple but really pleased with how it works.
I hate the zip tie mounting brackets - they’re ugly and they never stay put. You can buy spare shoe/cleat things for exposure light brackets from tredz and having had a few of there lights I now have a few brackets on various bikes.
If you pull the rubber underside off the standard mount there is a little square hole. I shaved the rounded corners off the bottom to give it a flat base the pressed a nut into the hole using a vice (after widening a little a Stanley knife). A bit of loctite on the bolt then screwed the shoe / cleat from an exposure light onto the bottom.
The great thing is you can leave the plastic mount attached to the garmin (which it never came out of easy) and just clip it into the light mount.
