I've been experimenting with mounting a compact flashlight on a rail system, but I'm facing an issue where it wiggles a bit when there are vibrations. I want to avoid over-tightening the screws and potentially stripping them, but I'd really like it to be more stable. Has anyone figured out any DIY solutions, like using shims, gaskets, or specific materials that increase grip? I'd love to know your experiences and suggestions!

I agree with the rubber mounting idea! Similar to how vibration dampening hangers work, using rubber feet or similar materials could really help absorb some shock and keep your light steady. Definitely worth a shot!
You might want to consider rubber mounting instead of trying to make it tighter. This could absorb some of the vibrations and make your flashlight feel more secure. Plus, it could be a fun DIY project. Let me know if you try it!
Yeah, rubber mounting sounds like a solid plan! I'm thinking of trying it too. Do you have any recommended materials for that?
