the suction cup mag mount doesn't hold well enough....and I am sure it will walk away.
Anyone know what parts I need?
Gonna mount it to my 1994 s-10 pickup.

You will need a gasket for the roof and a few 1/4 20 nuts and bolts. Disasemble the light remove the magets and ust those holes as a template to mount it. Sandwich a gasket and wire it up and replace the dome. you may want to silicone the bottom where the bolts pass thought the sheet metal. Those always seem to leak.
