As promised, here are pics of the blinkie's mounting stuff. One of the pics shows all the parts, including the black neoprene gasket in the foreground and the black plastic bezel in the background. The pic of the rear of my bike shows the mount that I made out of some translucent polyethylene plastic, with the Nova's screws coming out (and large-diameter washers on the other side of the plastic for support). The screws do go into the light all the way, I left them extended so you could see them.

I ended up using a 9.6-volt NiMH radio-controlled car battery & charger from Radio Shack, which is about US$25. They sell a compatible plug that can be soldered to the red & black wires of the Nova, so you just plug the Nova into the battery and it runs. Someday I may wire up an on/off switch too. I put the battery in my rack trunk.
