WTB: Surefire EB1 Backup Shrouded Tailcap

I'm looking for a Shrouded click-type Tailcap for a Surefire EB1 Backup. It needs to be black, come from a smoke free environment, and be in new or like new condition. From the research I've done on CPF it cannot be from an E1B due to differences in thread length. Thank you.

Got mine from Lumens factory, works great on my e1e. His site says it fits any e series. Super easy install too

I was considering that as an option. I tried removing the aluminum retainer but I think thread locker or glue was used to secure it so I may have to heat it up first. Thanks for your reply.

He sells a metal key on there as well that really helps, others had said they've heated their Up because it was thread locked. Mine was not however, that key made it cake to take off. Just an option, cost another few bucks though. Good luck!

Thanks for the advice. I was hoping I wouldn't have to heat the tailcap but I'm probably making it out to be worse than it really is.

I wish the Z68 tailcap would fit but the EB1 has more threads than other E series lights and therefore has a unique tailcap. If it were the older E1B I'd just install a Z68 and call it a day. Thanks for trying.

Ah, Good to know.

Thanks
