I previously posted in another thread. But the title of that thread wasn't directly related to my question. So I thought I'd make a new thread.

Trying to install a McClickyhttp://theledguy.chainreactionweb.co...roducts_id=791 into an UltraFire WF-502D https://www.kaidomain.com/WEBUI/ProductDetail.aspx?TranID=1256

I've boosted the height from the rubber part so that it will unclick after you click it. And I tried bending a piece of wire so it would contact the two plates on the switch and the inside wall of the tailcap body. It wouldn't even turn on that way. I tried taking the metal washer out of the bottom of a L2D's tailcap but it wouldn't fit past the top part of the McClicky. It was making contact with metal on the top of the McClicky so I screwed the tailcap it. The light came on, regardless of clicking the clicky.

If I could buy a bigger washer that fit over the top down to the contact plates then put the plastic retainer ring back in, would that work?

Sounds like your retaining ring is making contact with the terminals at the top of the switch... File the inside down so that it's still enough to hold the switch in or what not, but enough so that it only makes contact with the bottom negative ring... I just ran into that problem putting a McClicky into a Thrunite Neutron 1C...
