Where can one get a metal reflector (with some orange peel type of finish) for use in a 3D Mag? I'm thinking about doing the Roar of the Pelican mod, but still haven't found a place to order a metal reflector where I don't need to have PayPal.
Where to get a metal reflector?

If you are in USA you can try to PM FiveMega to talk about some pyment ways...
a little question: what are you going to use in your mag 3D to drive ROP bulbs?
I'm asking this becouse you can use a 2D maglite instead of a bigger 3D

I don't know exactly right now. I just realized that the ROP bulbs run off of 7.2 volts or so (6 nimh cells, not 9). Maybe I can use a dummy cell?
Does FiveMega have any connection to the Black Bear Flashlight website?
No. FiveMega is his "own man" who does his custom sales only here on CPF (as far as I know). Black Bear makes a nice product too.
I think light-edge is still selling them. Might take a couple of weeks though by the looks of it.

if you can buy a 2D you will need a 2D>6AA adapter to run ROP bulbs (common way)
if you MUST use a 3D you can:
-get a 6AA adapter + 1D dummy and run ROP
-ger a 9AA adapter + 3AA dummy and run ROP
-get a PVC tube ad try to fit in your 3D 6 X 2/3A batteries and run ROP
-get a 9AA adapter with 9 good nimh and run WA1185:thumbsup:
you must know that dummy cell add resistance...

Is that a drop in, just like the ROP bulbs are?
well...I'd say MAY BE
becouse of this:
at the end in a mag85 you need only to add 3 batteries to the ROP set-up and run the WA 1185...
the WA1185 is a Bi-Pin bulb so you need to get:
1) a potted bulb that is like a normal mag bulb (8$ per bulb + shipping cost)
2) buy a KIU High temp socket and a bi-pin 1185 ( 12$ + shipping cost +6$ per bulb)
3) buy a FM's PR-base to bi-pin adapter ( 28$ + shipping cost + 6$ per bulb)
-if you will run your mag 85 for about 5-6 minutes you will not have any problem with the heat generated by the bulb...if you run the bulb for extended time you will have some melting problems.
-getting the KIU you'll solve the problem of the heat but you may flash the bulb becouse it has got less resistence than the standard mag bulb holder
- the FM's bi-pin adapter is perfect (IMO) becouse allow to use the light for extended time and protect the bulb

Sounds complicated
