Is there a one-piece adapter to enable this? I know there's the TnC E2C adapter for running E-series bodies with C-series heads. And there's the LeefDaptor for running C-series bodies with M-series heads. But what I'm looking to do is run an E-series body with an M-series head. Does such a beast exist? Can you run the LeefDaptor and E2C together?

Specifically, I'd like to connect an L4 body to a Z46 head.

Don't think so.

Yes.

Thank you sir for the reply. Man, that sounds like it would make for a long combo. Anyone have both the E2C and the LeefDaptor's who cares to take a pic of them joined together? The whole objective of what I'm attempting is to create as slim/short a body as possible with the Z46 in order to run 2xIMR123's. I suppose a Leef 1x18650 would work, or even a 6P body, but I'd like to go even thinner.

I don't think the length will be too bad. It's the difference in diameter between the head and body that will look (and feel) odd.

I have all the pieces to put together the combo you describe. If I can get ahold of a camera, I'll try to get a pic up later today.

Brighterisbetter ... You have the E2C adapter, all you need now is the C2M adapter :naughty::naughty::naughty:

How about this combo: KT4 mated to an L4 body, running two IMR123's, a fivemega bi-pin holder and a WA1111 :naughty:
That's what I'm planning to do using one of the TnC turbo head adapters...

Here's your Z46 / Leefdapter / E2C / L4 / Z52 setup...

So it appears I was a bit of a bonehead...I ordered a 3p body hoping to mate it to an m2 head...this isn't possible without the adaptor is it?

an adapter

I have seen it mentioned here that gandrtactical.com has a flashlight body that uses "E" tailcaps and "C" bezels. I don't know anything about the quality of the bodies but it might be easier and cheaper to use them and 1 adapter instead of a Surefire body and 2 adapters.
