Hello fellow members. I been fascinated with the 3P parts and new I could find a way to make a 3.5in or less 3P P60 compatible. When I got a real 3P it was close to 4in; I didn't want to chop it up to make it shorter.
So here is what I used for parts. I had the G&P cheap weaponlight. It is P60 compatible. The weaponlight has a adaptor that on one side houses the P60, but on the opposite end I attached the A21 universal housing adaptor. The weaponlight cost $30 to $45 dollars on ebay and if you purchase this you can drop-in any P60 or use the part the holds the P60 as a LU60 adaptor.
And these were the parts prior to using the weaponlight LU60 collar type part.
At this point the 3P parts were 3.56 inches tall. Notice how much smaller they are compared to the G2 cell housing body. I then grinded the G2 bezel where it meets the body. I actually grinded it quite a bit. The A21 universal body was also grinded to allow the tail cap to fit flush. See the picture on the Left; compare the before and after. At this point I was tired but kept searching for a more compact (short) P60 set-up.
On left picture You have a 3P parts which is 3.54in tall and 3P parts with grinded down G2 bezel which is about 3.25in. I wasn't satisfied yet, read on.
Now I took off the LU60 from Surefire and put the weaponlight version which technically isn't called a LU60, but neighter is the LU60 which is part of a weaponlight
Then the final product. It is the LU60 type I got from the G&P weaponlight; attached to an A21 universal housing body from Surefire and a 6P clickie.
The only reason the 3P parts with the yellow nitrolon bezel got shorter was because I grinded it down a bit untill it fit tight on the Surefire LU60. See the comparison shots of the 3P Parts nitrolon Yellow bezel (which was shorter already than the 3P parts).
In the top left picture the 3P parts with yellow measured about 3.25in and the one next to it was right around 3in. I wish I had my E1E to take pictures of both side by side. Oh yeah If you see the Surefire E1b it has a LU60A collar only. The bezel on the E1b is a Solarforce bezel I cut in half: more on the bezel later.
