Custom flash light switch problems

[thebandit110]

Hey guys, Brand new to the forum. In my manufacturing class we are making flashlights, and my group is having trouble in finding a good way to mount our switch. the switch we are using is this http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.15879 .... Have you guys ever used this type of switch? or know of a good way to mount it? we tried mechanical lock washers, but it shorts the light out. we tried epoxy but did not work that well. Any ideas will be appreciated.

I have some experience with lights that use it....they all had a plastic washer instead of the mechanical lock washers you use...

this is the tailcap of an ultrafire 502

see hat I mean...
I one of mine the plastic washers lost its threads and is now kept inplace by battery pressure alone....for a class project I would not mind this (your flashlight allowing) so hunt down for palstic/teflon etc wahsers in the local hardware store, else use coke bottle caps to make them!
