So YC,

I assume with this mod, the low level is no longer available?

IF your download explains this, forgive me for not looking. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

The vid shows that low level is still available.

It doesn't show what is involved in the mod. It just shows the light switching from off to low to high back to low and then off. I don't have an A2 or a clickie so I have no idea how this works.

Hang on. At first I thought it was a cut down original tailcap, but that appears to be a completely different tailcap - it has grooves on either side of the knurling.

YC, I think everyone here is looking for details!

That is the old version of the A2/L1 tailcap.

No it's not.
No shroud ring.

It might be a Z57 clickie but I haven't seen one yet.

So, you hacked the top of the old A2 tailcap. Could we have a look @ the top???

And I was going to email you about the A2 with that strange Tailcap in your signature line. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ohgeez.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

YC,

I thought you had finals to study for! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
OK, so I fugure you had to shorten the spring considerably and I want to know if you were able to use the threaded nut for sealing the boot against the lip of the cap? Enough flack; clever job bud! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
