Have a question as to the installation of these Mini Maglites which JLR Switzerland added to our Swiss Heritage models.
I know that the Maglite support with the two leather straps has a stainless steel base, but this one then simply is glued with some strong double sided tape on what appears to be something like an isomo block or so under that dashcover part. You can see what I mean in the below picture.
Do normal Defender passenger side dashparts have such isomo block as standard glued underneath? My SVX does not have that, but then again, the SVX dash part may be different as on the underside it has standard a support net with inside a cable and connector for a Apple iTouch. Consequently the underside of my dash part has nothing, so don't know how I could fix/glue the stainless strip with the two leather straps for this mini Maglite. Or, are all Defender passenger side dash parts empty/hollow at the underside and would this isomo block be part of the Mini Maglite package? Would like to find out as I may be able to get hold of one. No, please do not suggest a "group buy" for these.

Discovered the answer to my own question when I took off my dash panel for installation of this Maglite support.
In above question I speak about "isomo", which actually is French for styrofoam, at the time I could not think of this English word for it.
The underside of my dash panel does have this styrofoam type white block like all other Pumas, and it is not glued on, but stuck on with two self tightening spacer type thingies. Had to remove these which is not easy, but you can do it with a long simple flat screwdriver, just patiently prying round and round until they slowly come loose.
Now once the styrofoam type block is removed, it is easy to see that the stainless part of the Maglite support, which is not available commercially but which I was able to get hold of anyway, has two parts which fit under the styrofoam block, plus on the front side has a long strip of double sided tape.
So simply put the stainless support in the right place with the double sided tape firmly touching the rear side of the frontal part of the dash panel, and then put the styrofoam type block firmly back in place over the two stainless ends of the support, fixed with the two reusable self tightening spacers. It is actually the styrofoam block which is doing 99% of holding the Maglite support in place, the double sided tape is doing the rest.
The stainless/leather support for our Heritage editions is very well designed by JLR Switzerland, just like the stainless safari door support for the 102 Swiss "Legend" leather tool bags is. Most importantly, it all fits and suits the SVX like a glove.
Eric You never actually own a Defender. You merely look after it for the next generation.
