I want to mount my MagLite on the left rear side panel just below the utiliy hooks. I am using the MagLite brackets (see the link to another post).For those of you who have mounted in a similar way, will the self tapping screws be strong enough to hold it, or do I need to use threaded screws with nuts and washers? I want to avoid having to remove the rear panel if possible, but it seems like this would be necessary in order to use nuts and washers.

I have 2 MagLites mounted in that exact position. IMO, the self-tapping screws are plenty to hold them. I just screwed them right in.

I used bolts.

I noticed Dominic's pic in the link you gave.
The lens part of the flashlight should be at the rear to prevent the light from becoming a missile in the event you stop really fast.

Notice in my pics how the lens is at the rear behind the first mount.

The supplied screws have been working fine for me. When you pre-drill, be careful not to make the holes too large, or the screws could come loose later.
