Technical advice assitance request

[Zebra]

Hi, my Magene Radar rear light, as well as my Garmin Edge both have TETHERS, for backup secure-ness.

For added safety; i wish to ADD a tether to my un-tethered (particularly heavy) Ravemen PR1200 light - it IS heavy, and has come off -just the once - crossing exposed (in-tar, but beeeg gaps) railway lines - at speed - in the working harbour.

I have an idea on how to mcgyver a leash ATTACHMENT POINT, but a few questions arise:

1. Other than Takealot, do any Cycle Shops sell (just) a leash?
2. is there any way to convert/adapt a keel-type attachment (see photo) mechanism to a Quarter-turn mount?
3. Any ideas on how to attach a leash, since no provision exists? My idea is to place a washer under the Micro bolt, and attach the leash to the washer…

(I have been using the light UPSIDE down, due to space constraints; the buttons are then HIDDEN from my view…

but this light only needed next AUTUM for early morning commutes, but am looking for an elegant solution!)

All suggestions considered! Thanks, Chris

Something like this that sticks on. Gopro mount with tether.

One of my lights was supplied with a keel-to-gopro mount adaptor. And then you can get a gopro adaptor for the quarter turn garmin undermount. Works well, the gopro mount gives vertical adjustment

This will also work to attach a lanyard to the light.

@Zebra if you're looking for just a tether, I'm pretty sure I've got a Garmin one (or two..) lying around unused. Ping me in mid Jan when I'm back in CT if you still need, and we can make a plan to get one to you.
