Your problem may be the same as mine: although the box was labeled as an extension for Micro Four Thirds, inside the box was an extension for a standard Nikon mount, which is too big for M4/3.

I too had trouble getting it on. However ... follow directions EXACTLY ... I think the little rubber washer was the problem. It will eventually install correctly.

Not out of the box. It's designed to be mounted to the fork crown. If you're reasonably handy, it shouldn't be difficult to come up with a simple mount--all you need is a bracket that you can fix the loop to. Alternatively, you could remove the light from its "loop" bracket and attach it, using the same screw hole, to some other kind of mounting.However, one thing to which you should pay attention is the wire that runs from the light to the dynamo; make sure it's long enough to make the travel without being stretched. It's simple to solder on an extension if you need to, but it's best if you don't have to do that. Not out of the box. It's designed to be mounted to the fork crown.

Correct in that a T mount is needed. It simply screws in. One can commonly find Barlow attachments as well for the t mount. They should have labeled this item as an t ring.

As far as I can remember both mounting points should have the brass threaded inserts. I believe you have a defective part, I would return this and get a new one.

I had the same problem until my son showed me how to put them together. But, maybe yours is different than mine. I thought I was going to have to buy an adapter but I was trying to put the new extension on first and then the the original on that. I had to add the extension on to the original. Once I put the original first and extension last it worked like it was supposed to. Not saying that will work for you but it did for me.

I used shrink tubing to make mine fit in my 25mm shotgun mount. With a remote pressure switch, it is a good light. The tailpiece light changes it to single mode operation. I.E it illuminates on high as long as the pressure switch is pressed.

Were you able to get it out mounted using a different stand? If so, can I buy the ring stand from you as I lost mine during a recent move and I couldn't find a way to buy it anywhere?Thanks.

Ok i think i remember here is a bigger picture http://www.gilmour.com/wp-content/uploads/20-18.jpg i think i did have to drill a hole in the black plastic [your mileage may vary] and then the extension 'clipped' onto the black plastic tube

Yes, I had the same problem. Got this and it works great. It's kinda hard to place it in, just take your time.

The bar end screws that came with the kit were too long to correctly work the rubber expander inside the handlebars. Easy fix, though- I just put an extra nut on the bolt between the kits extender and my tapered washer. You'll figure it out.

Don't know about an extension but what I did was go to the big name hardware store and get a 10 foot metal conduit that fits perfectly in the sat mount hole. I had already marked and drilled the holes and just put bolts with lock washers to hold it all together and the conduit will fit fairly deeply in the mount giving it strength and rigidity. Just measure the inside diameter of the sat mount hole and the outside diameter of your pipe and it should be within 1/8". It may have been 1"ID and 1.25" OD but just measure to be sure. I think the pipe was around $10 and I painted it before I installed it. Mine worked great and is sturdy without bracing but I am going to attach some wires and fix it more secure.

Yes, it's a problem. I couldn't get it to attach. Seems like it needs some type of connector piece to allow the two to attach to each other.

Thanks SirBrad... I was having problems extending the bottom as well. Your suggestion helped me a lot. It's a pity they didn't specify this in the instructions.

Ok so I will be honest mounting this was a b*#ch. The screws were not long enough and it should have taken a few minutes took so much longer. I did mount it just like it was when I took the other one out. Once I got it in I have not had a problem what so ever. I hope this helps..

You should buy the extension which is the direct fit for this product....all rails are somewhat different and you are much better off doing it right the first time ratherthan trying to rig it up...not worth the hassle, & you will be eventually ordering it anyways...

Perhaps you don't have a tight fit with the tubing you have. I haven't had any problems with mine. Good luck, I hope it works out for you.
