Hello! I was just wondering if there are any available retaining rings for e series tailcaps?
I understand that the original twisty do not has that & McClicky switches are direct replacements without any extra parts.

And also, any e series tailcaps should fit into any e series battery tubes right?
Like how all Z41 tailcaps are interchangeable between the C/P/G series..

Thank you!
Cheers

The E-Series tails are more problematic than the C-Series.

It doesn't show the older E tailcap, I don't know what model number it is. The Z58 is the clicky version, correct?

Here's a tear-down I did recently. Don't know the model number of this one either, it's got the groove for a lanyard ring.

Vesture Of Blood did some machining of the standard McClicky, he offered some recently and i've picked up a couple. Haven't yet tried them out, but will report back.

*edit, I found an old post that has some more info. Still no model number for the series with the lanyard ring.
