Surefire D3 clickie?

Ross · Jul 19, 2003

Hi folks,
Is there such a thing? having done some reading, it is not possible to remove the switch assembly to put a modified kroll switch in so I may have to buy a SF part - can anyone help?

Thanks

Ross

The clicke for the D3 would be the Z49 in black. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif Z48 is the same in HAIII.

edited to correct the part number

Quick as that!! Thanks K-T!

Ross, I got that wrong. The black one is the Z49!!! Not Z48, that's the HAIII version. Sorry.

Ross · Jul 19, 2003

No worries K-T, thanks for the info

SureFire have assigned "Z" numbers to more compact Clickies Z58/Z59 compared to the Z48/Z49.

As the Z48/Z49 are based on the SW02, it is likely that the Z58/Z59 will be based on the Z57.

No release date has been given.

What kind of tailcap do you have on your A2? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/naughty.gif

Would the g2 tailcap with a McGiz kroll adaptor work on the D3?

K-T · Jul 20, 2003

I believe he has the standard A2 tailcap on it - any other tailcap won't work. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

The L1 and A2 share the same tailcap if I'm not mistaken..

Ross · Jul 20, 2003

Wolfen, I can't seem to get the D3 clickie switch out of the housing! If I could, I would make my own adapter for it. If anyone knows of an easy way to do that - I'm all ears!!

p.s. Al - should I wait for the Z58/59? How long do you expect waiting for them to become available?

yclo · Jul 20, 2003

Look in the middle of the spring, is there a hex screw?

Ross · Jul 20, 2003

Yes, there is..................give me a few minutes!

Ross · Jul 20, 2003

I'm turning it but it doesnt seem to be releasing?!?!? am I doing something wrong?

yclo · Jul 20, 2003

If it seems like it's turning nothing, press on the tailcap at the same time.

SF does not give release dates for their future products. Nobody knows when they will release the Z58/Z59, just keep a good contact to dealers as they seem to be the first to know when things are available. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

OK, I have the screw out now, this brings out the 'plate' and spring. I dont seem to be able to get the 'pressure switch' from the top out. I can put my G2-YL endcap on with my modified kroll switch and it functions as normal but I would much prefer to have the black endcap on it! Can you help me to get the pressure switch out? Am i better buying a proper switch?!??

Then get a pair of pointed needle nose pliers, there should be two slots on the black thing. It is a retaining nut that can be unscrewed if you put the two ends of the pliers to the slots.

Ross · Jul 20, 2003

Thanks yclo!!! Just done it now. i need more krolls........

Thanks again
