H3 Locator Beads

[orb]

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?

I will take two in green and SS.

I'll buy one with green trits in stainless steel if they go into production. It'll match my ss Wee!

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

Very Close, 11mm Dia.

 

[whoisvince]

I'd pick up a couple in SS.

Same price regardless of it being SS or aluminum?

 

[Light11]

I might get 2 SS.

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!

 

[joere]

Would take two.

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

:thanks: for the interest so far.

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

 

[herbicide]

Very nice. I'll be up for a couple in stainless.

 

[moeman]

I'm in

 

[Launch Mini]

Count me in for 3 please.
Let me know when you want some PP funds.

[Kuranosuke]

Strongly interested! I would take 4 of them! :twothumbs

 

[Essexman]

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

 

[Paa100]

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

 

[Meganoggin]

They look really cool Rob!

I would like to try a couple for my 'man - knitting'.
