Stainless Steel Bezel for C8

This!
And this is how a PERFECT C8 born!

I got reply from Simon.
He said he has no plans for it, yet…

It seems there’s not much enthusiasm here for it either.

See if we can find some old stock somewhere?

OK I’ll message Simon, asking for a stainless steel bezel.
If he gets a question every few days it must become more attractive to do it :wink:
So no others just yet, please wait till he has answered me.

Glad to see you back.

id buy couple of SS bezel.
or maybe crenelated strike bezel?

Instead of lots of people messaging Simon we should start an interest list, then send that list to Simon.

Guys please don’t forget that I am Simon’s voice here on BLF. I can’t and would not try to stop any of you from sending him messages but please don’t pummel him about this. You show me there is enough interest and I will make it happen. I was excited when I started reading this and then I kept reading and saw all the suggestions to pummel Simon with requests. I hear you and I can help.

Simon is for one thing, on a Chinese holiday right now and for another he does not have nearly enough help. The less he is pummeled with little emails and messages on the same topic, the more he can get done and the more I can make things like this happen. It’s what I do. I’ve been making things happen through Convoy for quite some time now as many of you know. A barrage of others trying to do the same will just mean a ton more work for him to sort through all this.

If there is a common goal like this I can make it happen through Simon and with less stress. I like the idea too. I was on board as soon as I saw the topic and I can make it happen. I’m not judging anyone just telling you what I know based on a ton of experience with Simon what will be most effective.

Cheers,
J-Dub

Hey, thanks for chiming in!
“Pummeling” is no good, i agree.
Should i edit my post?
EDIT: I edited my post…

Don’t tell me what to do! Oh, wait, you’re not. :stuck_out_tongue:

I was going to PM you a link to this thread so you could “officialize” but I see you’ve found it already.

Nice and sorry being an older topic that was on the first pages now again and you not chime in made me think you were too busy for this little part.

It would look awesome combined with the Stainless steel clip:

And the magnet ring:

But that means drilling and threading holes in the tail cap (because with the magnet there is no room for the nuts), and maybe with the SS bezel it’s too heavy for the magnet…

…problems, problems… lol

the Banggood magnet is very weak.
will not hold a C8 and barely holds a S2+
the ring Simon sells is stronger.

Thanks for that information!

And you get 2 pieces from Simon:

I wonder though if this will fit:

to make a shorty C8 (18350)
like here, bottom right:

It wont fit C8, you can try to find rev.1 X6 to fit 18350 A6 tube.

I’ll ask the question on the C8 page of Gearbest then (that’s where the pic is from).
Apparently something does fit.

Yeah, apparently it’s hard to get rid of this hobby. :wink:

Thank you guys for reviving this old thread, and also thank you J-Dub for willing to make this happen! :beer:

By the way can anyone confirm whether the bezel threading of the new Convoy C8 is exactly the same as the XinTD C8?

Thanks!

Oh yeah in case of an interest list, put me in it for 2
And J-Dub74 I promise to buy a clear C8 for the second bezel
(First being for the grey XPL hi NW DTP bistro lighted tailcap)

I have the red short tube but did not even try to Lego it with a C8 (also not the normal s2 tube, what is wrong with me :smiley:
Report back on this tonight

They are the same threading, but the convoy bezel is slightly deeper than the XinTD. The Xin bezel fits on the convoy but the lens rattles. The convoy bezel doesn’t quite screw down all the way on the XinTD head. But the clear anodized convoy obviously fits fine on another convoy.
