Good day fellow CPF-members.

Regarding payment of the CR2 Tubes,
I had said, that payment could be sent after the tubes have been manufactured,
:huh: BUT...

Both the Tube-manufacturer AND the Annodizer require payment before or after they start... :rant:

The Aluminum I used for the prototype was confirmed to be of Grade 2000 or similar, which does not hold the HAIII all to well.

Therefore I've ordered solid Solid Alu Rods/Bars of Grade 6061.
This is the better type of Alu, the same your Arc-lights are made of...

I am new to Flashlights and Modding, and now even newer to Manufacturing.
But rest assured, I've been given help by MANY of the better (custom!) Flashlights- and Parts- makers this nice Forum has to offer.
(which is why it might have taken a little longer then expected...)
I will be making sure, this CR2 tube is made up to spec, to match the quality and durability of your and our great Arc lights...

Payment details:
===================================================
HAIII Price: CONUS US$51 - Everywhere else: US$53
Bare Alu: US$41 CONUS - Everywhere else: US$43
Cash Paypal Payments can be sent to:
george (at) bombelman (dot) com
Subject: CR2 - ## - CPF-Handle
eg: CR2 - 01 - Bombelman
CR2 - 03 - Mini-Moder

CC: add 4%
It has come to my attention that PayPal is substracting $2.25
from your total for Cross-Border transfer fee's (?). Because the sale price is
very close the the mfg-costs, (non-profit), I want you to please include this
amount for each tube with your transfer, to compensate for these fees.
Thank you.

Also add you shipping-address in the details also....

If you have more then 1 tube, make a seperate payment please.
(your order will ship together)

Special note:
The account is in name of Dave Kuster,
my (biological) brother (same mother, different fathers).
He confirmed the Paypal account for me when he still
lived in the Netherlands. Reason for this is that my
country (Suriname) is not registered with Paypal yet... :rant:

It would also be nice to email me after the transfer to confirm.
Add the same subject if you do, and also include your
shipping-address etc...
george (at) bombelman (at) com

If your payment has been confirmed,
a Smiley :) will be placed behind your name.
===================================================
Question welcome by PM or george (at) bombelman (at) com




Cheers !

p.s. For archival and future reference,
I would like to request a picture from all
buyers of your Arc LS head(s) fitted on the CR2 Tube(s).... :)
===================================================
FACTS: (subject to small changes) =========================

- SINGLE run of ONLY 48 CR2 Tubes, made from Grade 6061 Solid Alu Rods...
- These CR2 Tubes ARE numbered. (01-44, 45-48 is bare)
- When finished, the outer diameter (OD) of the CR2Tube will measure (about) 24,2mm on the knurls...
(Same as LS2 and later tubes, first run tubes were 25mm)
- Outside finish is HAIII natural. (tint not guaranteed)
From annodizer: "The color of the final anodizing depends on the alloy of aluminum used, the voltage through the chem bath, the solution of chem used, etc... It difficult to say how well they will match... ...It's a slightly greenish-grey color. More grey than green."
Threads and inner-tube are BARE ALU, not Chemkoted....
note: Tubes are manufactured in South America.
HAIII and shipping to their final destination will be from USA.
Shipping from S-Am to USA will be billed accordingly per tube.
- 1 O-ring will be included for every CR2Tube (but not fitted).
- 1 0,292" split ring will be included with every CR2Tube (but not fitted).
(This I will include FREE of charge, because I've made this version to allow a ring to be fitted and it would encourage more EDC on straps...)
- All but 4 tubes will be in HAIII nat. Prices have been reduced by -$10
- Estimated time it will take to appear on your doorstep: 4-6 weeks...
- Due to overwhelming demand, prices for shipping will be adjusted accordingly. (annodizing is done in USA)
- I am NOT in it to make a profit. This is a custom job, and for factories that make 1000+units of a product, 1 run of 48tubes is not a cheap job. Expect to pay 100% of the manufacturing/shipping/misc. costs...
- Before you purchase this light, a breakdown of all costs will be placed in this thread.
- 30% of the CR2Tube auctioned on eB*y will go to [CPF].
- Payment method preferred: Paypal.....
:twothumbs:

===================================================

ESTIMATED costs:
$28 for 1 Bare Alu CR2 Tube (confirmed apr 5th '06)
$10 for HAIII (annodizing)
$ 4 for Laser Engraving NO sterile tubes.
$ 5 for shipping from Suriname to Annodizer

Conus Shipping: $4
International Shipping: $6
(0.292" Split Ring and O-Ring included, but not fitted/lubed) :)

So either $51 or $53, depending on where you live...

===================================================

List closed for now... ONLY 48 tubes will be manufactured...
44 in HAIII, 4 Bare Alu...
Thank you ! Cheers !! :thumbsup: :eek:

:poke:
Any chance of incorporating one of those nifty "flat-top" switches you made the other day on to these? :devil:

greenLED, I totaly agree that they should be in there. But it would also increase hight. If you made a switch model I would take one of each:)

Switches require extra 4.5mm, so instead of making it 12mm shorter then the stock 123Twisty, it will be 7.5mm shorter then the stock 123Twisty...

I'll think about it, but let's stick to the microCR2 tube for now...

Deal.
:sold: on both (if/whenever you decide to make the switchy-type for both sizes).
