    Default H3 Locator Beads

    I wanted to gauge any potential interest in a simple small Tritium Locator Bead.
    These would be ideal for attaching to almost anything & have no real weight impact or physical size disadvantages.
    The 1st place I have the one I made in the WS is on my zipper pull. Idea for keychains & any lanyards.
    If I do a production run, the material will be Aluminium & Stainless Steel.
    I will firm up on price, current projection should be about £15 each with two 6mm x 1.5mm Tritium Locators. Bart also supplies 5mm x 1.55mm which will also fit in the slots.
    Norland 61 will be used.
    If there is enough interest I will go-ahead & get these made & they would ship on receipt of payment. Please let the guys on USN know about these also. I hope they appeal?

    Rob, what´s the bead´s outer diameter? Judging from the vials I´d guess about 10mm? I might get 1-2 SS beads.

    Same price regardless of it being SS or aluminum?

    I have been hoping for someone to come along and make something just like these. I'd probably grab a couple at least. Hopefully with blue trits (orange would be killer though). Either alum or SS is fine with me. Please keep us updated! Thanks!

    Price still to firm up on. The SS will cost more to make.

    I'd take a few, depending on price. I'd put them on my jacket somewhere, in some removable fashion.

    Great idea Rob. Could it be made so that the gap is big enough to pass two lengths of 550 Paracord through ? The reason I ask is I think that it the type of cord most would want to use for lanyards etc.

    If you need a sample of paracord just let me know

    I'd love a couple too. Are the locators recessed? Because they will tale a beating (for all of you MW2 fans ) )

    Pleased to see the interest

    Essexman what dia hole would be best suited?
    The 5mm hole in the proto works with the doubled up cord you sent me.

    Paa100 Yes they are recessed & will be almost potted in Norland.

    Well since I don't see the new CR2 (do I? ) in my future, I would buy 2 of these.
