Sure would be nice huh? Well, I took a Kroll switch from an Arc. Took off the rubber boot, put a small key ring around the body of the switch, so it contacts the exposed spring. Opened up the tail cap of the G2, took out their switch and inserted the Kroll switch into the tail cap of the G2. Twisted it on...not too tight.
Viola! Clickie switched G2.

Thanks to McGizmo for the inspiration.

I used the ring that held the two hard drive keys.
I played with it till it made good contact with the switch mechanism and the metal sleeve of the light. The switch housing can be screwed down pretty far. An o-ring would fit right in. I'm sure someone can improve upon the contact point. Seems like the G2 was made with the Kroll switch in mind.
