Making extra O-ring groove for 6P

[bstrickler]

I'm looking at my 6P right now, and it looks like the head could fit another O-ring groove. It looks like they considered doing it, but decided against it in the end. Where I'm talking about is right in front of the o-ring/immediately where the threads terminate on the head.

Has anyone tried cutting another O-ring groove in the head of the 6P? I don't want to risk doing that, and screwing the light up.

It would be easy as pie to do. All you'd need is a grooving tool and a lathe.

I'd recommend putting any extra o-rings further from the threads than the stock o-ring.

If you'd like another groove cut, I should be able to do it for you for fairly cheap, and there's any number of other members here who also could. I'm sure they'll chime in shortly.

I'll bookmark this thread, then

After Christmas time, I'll have 2 6P's that will need the o-ring groove. I assume I will only need to send the bodies, right?

I'd do it myself, but I don't know where to get the proper tool.

Yep, just the bodies. :thumbsup:
