Sold/Expired UBH status update: Now ready! Photos added

Update Mar7/05: I have finished the infopage about the UBH. You can click here to check it out, and see just what a UBH is... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif There are still plenty of UBHs in stock and ready to ship.



I have just heard from the machinist, and he says he can do the work in a few days. He's got the go-ahead, so I expect that I will have the final component for the UBH kits late next week. Once I have the tubes, I will immediately begin packing the boxes to send them out.

I have quite a number of unclaimed kits, and after next week there will not be a delay in sending them out, so please feel free to order once I have received the AA tubes. I will ship your in-stock UBH order within 1 weekday of receiving payment.

Thanks for your patience, all those who have waited this long. It won't be long now... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/icon23.gif

UBH - Universal Battery Holder

Re: UBH status update

These are battery bodies which are designed to hold a number of different combos of batteries and heads. They are compatible with E-sized Surefire heads, Arc-LS heads, McLux heads, and AFAIK the Aleph heads, which have the same size of threads (don't have any to check).

The complete UBH kit comes with spacers to allow for the use of 1AA, 2AA, 1, 2 or 3 CR123 cells, or the Pila 168S battery. Two of the 150S's will fit, but may be a little too long to work with the E-series heads. The UBH can also be used with the E2C adapter, to increase the range of options available.

Once you have decided on the battery and head combo you like, install a Z52 or Z58 Surefire tailswitch, and away you go. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Re: UBH status update

Maybe there should be some sort of reward for our extreme patience.
A Bonus of some sort. Seems like the right thing to do to me.

Re: UBH status update

heh, i agree....


whaaaa... no update to the progress at least?

Re: UBH status update

jtice - what do you mean? Progress is that the kits are ready to go except for the AA adapter tubes. That's the only thing holding them back, now. I think I mentioned that somewhere before...? Anyway, that's the state we're in now.

I'll look around for a bonus... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Re: UBH status update

how much are the unclaimed kits? and what will it consist of?

Re: UBH status update

The unclaimed kits are $55.00US each shipped, and will be the complete kits. These consist of the following parts:

-1 UBH-HA body (includes O-rings)
-1 Arc button
-1 AA adapter tube (goes inside body to reduce ID from 123-size to AA size)
-1 single CR123 spacer
-1 double CR123 spacer
-1 AA spacer

*notes: spacer=dummy battery
Arc button=small spacer to lift batteries to work in Arc-LS heads.

Unclaimed means I had no pre-orders for them, that's all. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Re: UBH status update

I'll take one kit. I'll paypal you when you are ready to ship. Thanks.

Re: UBH status update

over a year since some have paid and their still not done =\

Re: UBH status update

I'd like to steak claim on one of the kits too. let me know when they are ready to ship. Given all the past drama i hope you dont mind if i pay only when you have the kit in your hands, botex up, and ready to send out the door with tracking info.

Re: UBH status update

I'll take one unclaimed kit. Please let me know when ready.

Re: UBH status update

Ah sorry about that Doug,

Last night I saw your post answering WHAT the UBH was, but somehow my browser was showing that I had read all the posts before that, BUT I had not, sence I had not seen that update about the machinist.

At least things are moving along now, down to the last part.

Thanks for the update.

Will a Z57 clickie also work on a UBH?
Thanks

Re: UBH status update

DaveT,

Yes, any E series switch should work on the UBH.
