Thanks, BykMor, I now understand. I would ideally like a quick-release mount to place my B&M on the handlebar or on the front/side of a rack, and/or on the front of my Wald basket... Now I realize these should all require different mounts; but perhaps not.
I'd love to see your quick release for your E3... Do you have pics you can share? THANKS!
