So I decided that the clunky old incandescent flashlight in my International Harvester Scout was in need of replacement. I've been a big fan of the Fenix E05 flashlights. They take a AAA battery and are incredibly bright. 85 lumens on the maximum setting. At $20 each, I consider it a great value. I designed a flashlight holder that snaps over the lip on the travelall top, just above the door. This will fit over any sheet metal lip of about 0.050" thickness or thereabouts. It also has a slot for a magnet to help hold the holder on the sheet metal lip if needed, but it wasn't needed. Very handy, and a snap fit on the flashlight. It took a few design revisions, but I'm thrilled with how it came out. STL files are available on request. If there's interest, I'll post the file on Thingiverse or Repables.
