Summary

This is a mounting solution I created to mount magnets to the side of my Gecko in order to make it compatible with "Lotus System" magnetic holster plates.

The magnets are mounted at an angle in order to maximize the strength of the part by having the layers perpendicular to the bolt holes.

This mount is compatible with the "Lotus System" plates sold by MagAtTac:

To assemble your mount you'll need:
2x M5x17mm "SNAP MALE BOLT, size L" Fidlock/Lotus/Holdster magnets.
2x M5 hex nut
3x M3x20mm screws
3x M3 brass inserts (any style that is ~5mm in height should work though I haven't tested all different types of inserts)

I'm also including an earlier version that is non angled as some people had requested it during testing. I believe that this non angled version will be weaker due to some less than optimal layer orientation near the magnets/M5 nuts.
