My new L4 with brass collar and button

Here is my new L4. I used my 2x72 belt sander loaded with a 15 micron belt to get rid of some scratches on the brass collar. Then, I followed that up with a buffer and compound.

The thin metal piece is some shim stock I used to fit under the button's set screw to protect the finsh. The other collar is going to go around my E1e. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif



This is one cool (hot) light. It is extremely bright white, and the switch works great. I like the fact that I can use it as a clicky or as a twisty.

Nice job. I'd be interested if a few of those shims myself.

Nascar,

I bought the shim stock years ago. It comes in various thicknesses measured by the thousandths of an inch. I think I bought it at a place like Grainger. I'll see if I can find some more, but I'll bet some of the machinists here know exactly where to find it these days.

OK, this will get you started. Here are some links to pages 1797 and 1798 of the MSC catalog:
