    Grip on a Surefire C3 Centurion, would I be disapointed

    Why not tape a piece of sheet metal roughly the size of the clip to the G3 and see how you like that?

    So those possums are more like a racoon / possum hybrid.

    PW, that would be a sweet setup and less work, but I don't have a 5C collet (yet) :laughing: You can check out mettee's build thread here http://www.candlepowerforums.com/vb/showthread.php?t=271443

    Yes, there is nothing more rewarding than making your own part, especially if it comes out the way you want :rock:, then again sometimes :sigh:. Glad the collet is helping you out Drew :thumbsup:. Here's a pic with the star in the collet.

    Most of the time it's cheaper and easier to buy things pre made, but there are times when no one makes the things you need so I try to make my own. I'm learning as i go along doing little projects here and there. I bought a new motorcycle a couple of years ago and wanted to put new wheels on it...

    Geez, don't know what to say, feel a bit embarrassed :laughing:. Thanks guys for the props! It was mettee's idea for the collet, I just pictured it and made it. We wanted to make something to securely hold the SSR-50 star for machining because ruining a $40 LED would be a bummer :sigh:. I'm...

    1765 Lumen P60 Quad XPG Silver Plated Copper Heatsink Direct Drop-in, in developement

    Yes! But please put people that wanted one from this thread on top of your list. It would be very disappointing to the people that said they wanted one here, only to miss the new sales thread for a day or two and you ran out of drop-ins. Happened to me before and it sucked :confused:

    Ahh, I see the dilemma now! I guess other than making different sized drop-ins, is to make a standard drop-in but use different sleeves tailored for different hosts. This would probably cost quite a bit more :shakehead.

    1765 Lumen P60 Quad XPG Silver Plated Copper Heatsink Direct Drop-in, in developement

    So after following this thread or trying to follow :thinking:, is the problem trying to get a perfect fit in the SF host or make it a universal fit for clones too? I was at a hobby shop the other day and seen some sculpey and thought it might be good for getting dimensions for the drop-in...

    Well thats good news! I guess in a sealed flashlight it wouldn't matter. Looking forward to the silver plated copper sink :D, wonder how much a solid silver drop in would cost :eek:

    1765 Lumen P60 Quad XPG Silver Plated Copper Heatsink Direct Drop-in, in developement

    Re: 5X XPG P60 "sort of" drop-in. ~1475 Lumen @115lm/W! I remember silver was at the top of the charts when it came to electrical conductivity but didn't know it was number one for thermal conductivity also. I was told silver wasn't popularly used is because it corrodes fast (tarnishes)...
