Up for listing: custom brass Kroll switch assy (sleeve with switch installed) for use with Pelican M1(3310)/M1(2310[MY2006])/M3(3370)/M6(2320/2330/2390) tailcap hosts
Inspired by original Sandwich Shoppe aluminum sleeve design but modified for optimal fitment
Kroll switch preinstalled and preadjusted
Limited in stock -- may be discontinued once sold out
The Kroll clicky switch adaptation in the said tailcaps is not something new, but unfortunately no one followup up on the project and thus none of the corresponding switch sleeves have been properly made for satisfactory fitment within the said flashlight system.
This version of brass Kroll sleeve was inspired from the Sandwich Shoppe aluminum sleeve design, but further modified for improved fitment within the flashlight hosts concerned, while retaining adequete thread turns for tailcap installation into body.
Available brass switch sleeve variants:
1. Type A -- for tailcap hosts with full internal threads (eg. S-prefix serial clicky tailcap host, stock twisty tailcap host)
2. Type B -- for tailcap hosts with partial internal threads and integrated machined top collar area (eg. T-prefix serial clicky tailcap host)
For full tailcap disassembly/reassembly instructions, please reply to thread or send PM.
Tailcap host compatibility:
Type A sleeve:
- M6/M3/M1 clicky tailcap hosts manufactured before 2014 (especially those with "S"-prefixed serial numbers) which feature full internal threads (Type-B setup also compatible when installed in conjunction with original aluminum collar ring from disassembled stock clicky chassis);
- Early-spec M6 twisty tailcap host which features full internal threads;
- Absolutely NOT compatible with tailcap hosts manufactured after 2014 (esp. those with embossed battery position indicator). Use the Type-B switch upgrade instead;
- May NOT be compatible with some pre-2014 tailcap hosts with "T"-prefixed serial. Use the Type-B switch upgrade instead;
- May NOT be compatible with some native LED models (esp. models featuring red side flush switch and flat tailcap without switch mechanism). Check tailcap specs before proceeding
Type B sleeve:
- M6/M3/M1 clicky tailcap hosts manufactured before 2014 (especially those with "S"-prefixed serial numbers) which feature full internal threads. Requires aluminum collar ring (from original clicky switch chassis components) for effective installation and proper boot seating;
- Post-2014 tailcap host (esp. those with embossed battery position indicator) or tailcap host with "T"-prefixed serial. Switch position may need to be fine tuned for optimal sensitivity during clicky actuation;
- May NOT be compatible with some native LED models esp. those with frontal red flush switch and flat tailcap without switch mechanism;
- NOT suitable for upgrading early-spec M6 twisty tailcap due to lack of fully compatible aluminum collar ring necessary to secure/seat switch boot properly. Use the Type A switch assy instead
What you get from this sale is
- ONE said switch housing with new bare Kroll clicky installed
- Complimentary three-piece replacement silicone switch boot set (1x each for Black/Blaze Orange/GID Green)
NO other accessories, flashlight components etc. included
Listing pictures for reference only
All switch assys tested for operability and will be retested prior to shipping
Pricing:
- $24.95 per switch assy (same price for Types A and B)
- Extra three-piece switch boot set $7.25 each
Shipping (international registered only; subject to change depending on shipping complications due to pandemic outbreak)
- $6.50 for first unit; +$1.25 for each subsequent unit
Only PayPal payments accepted (please PM for payment info)
Please reply to thread or send PM for any questions or bulk orders.
Thanks for looking
