Light Motion Sola Soft Handle -- Boltsnap Installation

[milbournosphere]

I picked up a new Sola 800 today and it took me a while to figure out exactly where to put a boltsnap. Turns out that there's a way to route some cave line underneath the plastic that constitutes the mount point for the light.

Using a rounded dental tool (or similar brass pick), you can route the line through gaps in the plastic. I found that pulling the line through with a loop was easiest. You may find tweasers to be useful.

Other than that, it's a pretty normal install for a boltsnap, but I thought if anybody else had a sola and wanted to have a way to clip it off, they might find this useful. Pictures below.

So it looks like this got put in the wrong sub-forum. Could a kind mod move it to the DIY or lights section for me?

Hey mate sorry to bump an old thread, but good stuff on this! Just got myself a Sola Tech 600 light, and I tried to put my boltsnap around the neck of the light, but as soon as I pulled the light off the handle it came off of course. So this is excellent.
