need help finding magnetic mounts

I'm having a hard time finding universal magnets to mount some lights. All I need are some 3" round magnets with holes in the middle so I can attach the base of the light to the magnets. I need these magnets to be strong as well so I can drive with the lights on the truck without them falling off.
Do you guys have any ideas...

Bought a few sets last year on eBay, the seller was a ham radio equipment supplier. They were in sets of 4 for some huge antenna mounting but have worked perfect for my mini strobe bar. Not sure but I think this is the same seller I bought from

I'm using these: http://www.harborfreight.com/66mm-ro...net-96650.html

You'll need to put something on the bottoms to help protect the paint. I used contact cement and some thin vinyl shelf liner on mine.

Priority1Emergency.com sells the magnets for light bars. They are based in Livonia, Michigan.

What magnets (strength) were on the light bar? How fast were you going when it flew off?
