Sold/Expired Feeler: Tailstanding Cap for Surefire T1A

Hey CPF!

So, based on some posts from the Titan T1A Pics & Info thread it seems like there would be some interest for an aftermarket tailcap for the T1A.
Here's the T1A thread: https://www.candlepowerforums.com/threads/230576&page=7

Steve Ku (Kuku427) is going to look into getting some tailcaps made that would allow for tailstanding, have a lanyard attachment point, and also trit slots. He's currently acquiring a T1A to make use for testing and he will have some renderings available in a few weeks. We're thinking it will probably cost around $30-40 dollars

For now, just express your general interest in a tailcap. Once the renderings are done I will post them here and you can choose which option/design you like best.

Thanks! :thumbsup:

Steve - very cool, and I would definitely be interested - T1A and Titan!

Count me in!! I've been trying to find something that fit forever, with no luck. A tailstanding cap with a quality diffusor, like the one that came with the MJP Extreme III, would make it the perfect light.

I'm interested. I mostly carry in my pocket, so looking for something that would tailstand but not add bulk. Thanks!

Sign me up!

I'm interested.

Thanks for the interest guys!

I'm not sure if the tailcap is identical in construction between the Ti Titan and the T1A, can anyone comment? This is being modeled after the T1A, so Titan compatibility would be an added bonus I think.

ecallahan: I carry mine in the pocket too, so I hope it won't add too much bulk also.

I am in for one of each a T1A and a Ti Titan cap if and when they become available.

I would buy a couple for my 2 T1As...

Although I imagine that there is less of a chance for me if these tailcaps are CNC'd, but perhaps the end of the run could be a 'thick base' model, with extra material left on the back end. I would subsequently drill it out to take a McClicky and a small switch boot - I could figure that modification out on my end.

I will determine how thick of a base would be necessary for this.

If it would help get this variant done, I would be in for 2 to 3 tailcaps done in this manner.

Sorry to make things more complicated, there is always someone who requests things be slightly different.

Thanks,

Hey K,

Not sure how thick or thin the finished product will be. I'll definitely pass your request/concern on to Steve. He'll have a better idea once he gets a T1A in his hand and to the shop that will be doing the work.

LOL, gee K, that is sort of complicated. :nana:

I would be interested in the "simpler" tailcap mod. Got to keep bulk down, as I wear it around my neck most of the time.

How about I just send you my friends' Mag 4D for that? :nana: :nana:

A thicker base that a little round hole could be drilled out for a magnet, would be nice. Just dreaming - I'll go now.

That would be cool. Let's stay focused though! lol

I'm in.

Actually I am subscribed to this thread and I do read each post. Each opinion is welcomed but please understand that I will make the one that the most people want if there is a compatibility issue with the features desired.

Thanks for chiming in Steve. Like he said, the tailcap design that is liked by the most people in the thread will be the design made. I don't think we'll have the ability to make more than one design.

I added a list of the interested parties to the second post so we can keep track. I know some of you may be interested in buying more than one, if so could you either edit your original post in the thread to reflect that, or post again to let me know. I'd like to keep an accurate count. Thanks!
