I just picked up a novatac 120P from eBay, It came with a bonus, a PEU bezel that has empty trit slots. I've read that the slots are an unusual size, that the normal B@rt's won't fit, can someone verify this, and if this is the case does anyone know where to locate the correct size, thanks. By the way, with an XP-E swap this is actually a pretty cool light.

yes Barts trits wont fit,the tritslots are made for 1.5x5mm...Barts trits are 1.5 x5.5mm.
you will need to carefully file 'em down .5 mm lenghwise using a jewelers file.

Light11,
thanks for the response, I thought this was the case, have you performed this procedure, sounds pretty risky, filing glass and all. I guess there is adequate material to perform this safely, any advice from anyone who has done this would be greatly appreciated.

0.25mm on each side is not very much, and you can probably localize it to just the corners, as the PEU trit slot ends are rounded (pill shaped). I'd say try an emery board first.
