Do McE2S/Aleph Tailcap need threaded jam nut?

[StoneDog]

Do I need a threaded jam nut when using a McE2S DIY assembly with an Aleph tailcap?

I just received my order for a DIY assembly and there was no threaded jam nut - any chance this was a shipping/packaging mistake?

The jamnut should be included with the Mc2ES kit. You need it because that's what holds the Mc2ES in the tailcap and locates its position.

OK, thanks Bill.

If you ordered a DIY assembly, it does not come with a jam nut. From what I understand the DIY assembly is meant to be used to convert a Z52. When doing that, you need to drill out the hole in the Z52 jam nut.

Nope, the DIY kit does come with the jamnut! Look here: DIY Kit

EDIT: It even states that you don't have to order one but the jamnut isn't listed as a seperate item though! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thinking.gif My last three DIY Kits came with the newer black formed ones! No more deburring, chamfering, etc. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif I like them. I like to buy a few of them if they were listed as a seperate item.

I wonder if that was recently changed. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/icon3.gif I'm sorry, I had always assumed that they didn't come with a jam nut.

I've already taken care of it w/ the Shoppe. Based on both the website and the response I got in email, it is definitely supposed to come with a jam nut.

The problem here is that I ordered the DIY assembly with the intent to retrofit a Z52. I then changed my mind and ordered the tailcap (forgetting the boot!). I should have just ordered the complete assembled McE2S Tailcap. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

Does the Shoppe sell assembled tailcaps now? I didn't see that. They're selling a whole assembled Aleph lights now!

They're below the fully assembled Aleph lights.
