I was tired of never being able to find my flash light in my truck. So I drew this bracket in CAD and cut it on my plasma table. A few bends and small welds to give it strength and it was ready. I removed the front two bolts that hold the drivers seat and then inserted the bracket and the reinstalled the bolts.

I have a D cell maglight so I ordered the proper mounting brackets from amazon. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00002N9ER?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00 Then I used self taping screws to mount these to the bracket I made.

Here it is with the flashlight in place. It is easily removed while sitting in the seat or pulled out if I am outside of the truck. It is also easy to put back for the next time it is needed.
