Hi all,
I need some sleeves for D cell maglites that will fit 26MM cells.
Thanks

Get 1" schedule 40 PVC pipe and cut to whatever length you need. Some cells fit right away, some are little too big and you may need sand pipe inside a little. Nominal ID is 1.049 in = 26.6 mm, OD 1.315 in = 33.401.
I made and sell custom sleeve out of delrin to do exactly what you are asking for. I have made 1x26650 and 2x26650. Let me know what size you want and I can make it.
I have some SCH 40 but as you mentioned the ID is too small for my cells. I need more than one so I dont want to spend that much time on them. What I was really thinking was maybe someone with a lathe could bore a few for me.
I'd like to have 3 for 2D mags and 2 for 3D mags.
What would the cost per sleeve be?
On the el-cheapo side, I am using a rolled-up 8 1/2 x 11 piece of paper! I have been doing this for a Mag 4D to hold 5x 26500's for some 3 years now. Nowhere near elegant, but it works.
If some one decides to start a FS thread on these made of delrin I would be in for a few.
Martin those are very nice sleeves and similar to what I want, but I think using the delrin is causing the price to be a little more than I can afford.
For those of you that mentioned going to HD or Lowes I have attempted this 1" SCH 40 is the closest I can find but my cells are still a bit to large for that.
The batteries I have are the orange un aproved cells from battery space.

What I would really like is some 1" PVC bored with a grove cut at each end for an O ring so it fits tight in the mag tube.
QtrHorse, thanks for the picture. I actually never thought of doing sleeves for the individual cell. If I dont find what I really want I may go with that because its something I could do myself.
