Check out how I mounted mine, I have just done a 3,000 mile trip and the
light didn't move once.
Go to John Sims website: -
http://www.healey6.com/Technical/100%20TECHNICAL.PDF go to the Bookmarks and
scroll down to High Level Brake Light.

Have Fun

Sara:

You might try
using a set screw in the underside of bracket, which would
pinch upwards into
the underside of the boot lid, thus securing the bracket
and light assembly.
Many deck lid antenna brackets use this system, and the only usual downside
is
you will/might bite through the paint under the deck lid at the site of
the
set screws.  See this example for an idea of how they work:

Last spring I
finally found a nice LED brake light for my MG-TD at 
www.jandlenterprise.com
-- their BrakeLighter is 12"x<1", exterior mount 
[website doesn't say so, but
it is--all molded plastic].  We made two 
aluminum brackets, similar to
badge-bar clips, to fasten it to the luggage 
rack, and wired it to plug into
the trailer-light plug.  [If we're towing 
the trailer, we really don't need
the extra brake light--trailer lights are 
huge.]  I'll be buying one for the
Healey at Rhinebeck next month; now to 
figure out a way to mount this one
without drilling holes in the deck 
lid....
