I looked at that DX light. This extender looks very similar. There is a slight difference in the knurling and the threads and inside of this tube has a yellowish coating. That tube looks to be uncoated.
How well does it match Surefire black? This one matches very well and the knurling is close to what SF has.
I got a couple in a trade from a member on another forum. I will see if I can find out where he got it from. He said they were around $30 shipped when he bought it new.
Here are my E-Series Legos.
more to come

An update on the G2Z-8NX hybrid. I got my R2 dropin to work. I used a spare large spring from another dropin, a 17600 and a RCR123. It works perfectly.

I dont think you need the tape switch. The tape switch, on a weaponlight, is to help activate the light without having to move your hand position. It is momentary only. no constant on.
There is an SR07 that has momentary on and a constant on click switch, however what is your intent on user interface for an eseries helmet light?
The tape switches are only 7 inches long so it is not like it is long enough to reach down to your hand. Depending on how the light is mounted to your helmet, couldnt you just reach up and press the tailcap switch to activate the light?

I would use just the attachment to the body of the light, cut the cable and tap it into a larger external battery. I would drop a "dummy" cell into the light itself. I have a broken Z57 I was thinking about doing that very same thing to, but the SR07 with switch may be even easier so I don't have to sort out sealing the cable.
The intention is to have minimal weight on top of the helmet with battery in the Camelbak.
Here is my current favourite... I call it the Lumamax L4.5
The two stage tail makes it really useful.
100% factory HA:
The E1 has an E series twisty and works with the LX2 head but I have to run an RCR. The LX2 body turns the old KL1 into a 2 stage light but ive gotta run a battery spacerBoth are pretty cool. Ive got some more legos but no pictures yet. Il post those later!
