Hi Keith,
I opened the hole from the outside until the light unit would just fit. If I remember correctly I had to take a couple of mm of the top edge of the lens to clear the rear screen
The following sketch shows how I retained the light. The M5 screw can glued onto the light unit using an epoxy adhesive, but I prefer to use a windscreen sealant such as Upol Tigerseal (available on Ebay), as it also great for glueing brackets direct to fibreglass.
When you make the retaining bracket, I would make it as longer than the light unit, as there is a loss of stiffness in this area when you cut the hole for the light. I actually added a foam beam to this area, about 600mm long. Without it, it was a 2 person job to open the rear clam, as the clam would distort if only lifted from one side. Now I can do it on my own.
Regards,
Andy
