so I have a Nitrolon tailcap where the internal 'guts' had long since been loose (such that you could pull them out and put them back in). I bought an Oveready McClicky kit (with the brass ring) and it fits in the tailcap great and stays in and so on. The only problem is, due to the Nitrolon tailcaps being shorter, it appears the McClicky's spring is preventing me from being able to screw the Nitrolon tail cap onto the body even to the second or third thread.
My question is: is it recommended or okay to cut down the McClicky spring?
I think I'll have to do this, but if so, how far down should I cut/clip the spring? The McClicky kit is perfect in this Nitrolon tailcap except the Z41 tailcaps are taller than the Nitrolon ones so I think I need to make up for that.
thoughts?
