Hey guys,
So my fork has this eylet in the front which is supposed to be for a fender but I want to see if I can get a headlight mounted there.
Has anyone done this and can recommend some mounts/lights that will work for this setup?
PS: I've found some mounts on Aliexpress like the one pictured but I'm not 100% comfortable trusting these and there's so many models I'm not sure which one to use

I have a Busch and muller dynamo light mounted there. I love it. Might not be helpful for you but you can look it up if you want pictures for inspiration. As for Aliexpress, I’ve found some “brand names” are more reliable. I’d be nervous about something like that failing and falling off and into the wheel.
Why don’t you trust them? Torque to about an ugga and you should be fine. Add locktite if worried.
You can always reach out to Mason to see if they have a spec for that mount.
But in general, 4-5nm is good for most carbon parts on a bike. You can add blue loctite if it comes loose from the vibrations.
They’re not carbon threads. It’s an aluminum cylinder with threads cut into them bonded into the carbon.
Any fork mounted light mount is likely to be just fine. They’re not that heavy and it doesn’t need to be perfectly engineered imo, although it does help. Go with whatever looks good, fits, and fits your budget.
Nice lights often come with a mount for the fork crown bolt. The adapter you posted looks like trash imo
I use a Supernova Multimount for similar location.
