Plumb Bob?
He is a straight up and down dude!
I didnt think he was on this forum. But he is on this one http://sods.freeforums.org/
I am guessing you may be after a canister?
His bro in law makes some nice Delrin cans and I finish them off by adding a rotating collar holding a magnet to activate an internal reed switch,

Got it in one! I liked the look of the all black one :
Just wanted to see how much this sort of thing costs?
Would need it to be internally no less than 55mm diammater and 155mm long, as im using theses packs:

Leaving the top un-tapped as i have my own Argo/Salvo Gland that i want to use.
What do you think? I have no idea about the cost of these things, but i imagine the postage would be a killer...

Cant find my vernier at the mo but the cannister will take 4 26650 Li Ion cells2x2 or upto 10 18650's 2 x 5 with PCB board for protection.
It will not take 6 (3 x 2) 26650's.
Cost is $250NZ. Shipping is quite cheap at about $15nz or $50 tracked. ( at a guess based on other stuff I have shipped)
That is for the bare can with 2 Orings. No gland, no rotating collar ( grove cut though or not) no mosfet.
I just finish one complete light last week and will finish another this weekend.
I have another 2 cannister on order currently.

In danger of becoming a sales thread, so could you please PM me with a cost including the switch and your mosfet arrangement.
Some actual internal measurements would be great when you get a chance?
Also what depth have theses cannisters been dry too?
Cheers.

Will do when I get a chance.
Depth rating? No idea really. Its much thicker ( 2-3x) than my PVC cannister and I take that bellow 50 meters as often as I can.
Gland is probably the weak point since its only rated at 10 bar. Mind you its probably good for much more than that.
They also use 2 O rings. Axial and radial. You can quite safely remove one and still have the same depth rating. The other is pure redundancy.
