I have a Surefire Z58 for a few years and while the clicky is still working without flaws the rubber boot is starting to show wear. Have been looking for a replacement boot but have encountered numerous problems.

Have contacted Surefire first. Was promised a replacement Z58 but it got sent to my dealer instead of me directly, and now the dealer requires me to return the old (but still fully functional) Z58, which I'm reluctant to, especially since the newer batch Z58 uses a newer clicky internal that is cheaper but inferior to the older clicky design.

Have looked into this one

but no one can confirm if this is also compatible with the Z58 (this one is for the Z57).

Someone pointed me to this one

but I don't know if this is directly compatible either, w/o the need to trim the base, which is a bit tricky. Also I don't need to get 10, just 1 or 2.

Anyway, can someone chip in some help on this?
