Lanyard suggestions for Mag D body

I'm looking for a way to add a lanyard to my Mr. Tri-X so it will be protected from a fall should it ever slip out of my hands. Before you suggest it, I am already aware of the Nite Ize Lite Ring, Clip N' Grip, as well as the Mag Lanyard Ring Tailcap. However, I'm just wondering if there is a better and "nicer" way of adding a lanyard, maybe something like a lanyard ring similar to those sold by Surefire, but for a D size Mag?

Any other suggestions?

Requires modding the tailcap,
but this is what i did to a couple of my mags.


Hole is drilled in the tailcap, and the AL lanyard attachment is epoxied in place.

jtice,
What is the silver piece that you used and where can I find it?
Thanks!!

That silver piece is Aluminum, and I machined it.

I suppose you could cut a bolt short and use that :thinking:

But mine has a tailcap switch

thanks,

hmm tail switch huh? welp, thats not gonna work.
Guess I'd tie some sorta lanyard, or use one of those rings from Lighthound then.

i need to know how to mount a lanyard also...

Im thinking about edcing the 6D under the trench coat....at the minute im thinking of modifying a machete sheath to accomodate for the mag, but the drilling on the tailcap :wow:

I see a market for the silver studs

jtice the mod you did, it messes up the waterproof factor of the light right?

It shouldn't, because he wrote:

Ah yes. I have a problem reading between the lines or in this case in between the pics.

grillmasterp, thanks for pointing out the Leef ring at lighthound.. :goodjob: I didn't know they had them..

jtice, that's a really nice mod.. I think I may have to give that a try..

tebore,

Totally water tight, I had 3 mags setup this way, two LuxIII mods, and a TriLux,
all of them spent a week straight of caving duty.

gregw,

thanks, its not hard at all,
wasnt a real elegant way of doing it, but I only had a couple days before I left on the caving trip, and wanted something quick and functional.

Genius!
That actually was a very good idea and looks quite nice.

Where does the Leefring from LightHound attach to the D Mag? Between the tailcap and the body?
