Stainless Steel Bezel for C8

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.

Nice pics Robert, that XinTD has a nice color

The S2(+) tubes have smaller outer diameter so do not Lego with the C8

Bibihang was asking if the XinTD C8 bezel worked with the Convoy C8. So I guess the short answer is, sort of…

Pity…

I talked to Simon about the stainless bezel. He can do it but stainless is very expensive compared to aluminum. He said it would be about $6 shipped. If there is enough interest at a $6 price tag he can do it. It’s pricier than I expected but it would be pretty sweet. I’ll wait for some feedback. I can setup a poll later today if I hear a call for it.

I’m sure I can have Simon make a short tube for the Convoy C8 if there is enough desire for it. Now that it’s been mentioned I like that idea. A stubby C8 would be fun. :smiley:
I could do a poll for that too. Heck, I may just put that one in motion. :sunglasses:

Edit:
@ The Miller and RobertB… I’m on it. :wink:

I would definitely get a SS bezel or 2.

Why not an SS bezel and SS short tube? :wink:

Or why not just make a limited edition SS C8? Or Cu C8? Maybe a brass one? Ti? Anniversary Edition Ti with Copper pill section as a triple? :smiley:

2 cell length tube to fit 4 18350’s for an XHP-35 C8? :wink: :wink:

Ok, who told Dale about this? :person_facepalming:

Whaaat? I’m getting my 8 bay Enova charger to push 4.24V into a 30Q, gotta have something to supercharge and test em out! :smiley:

Thinking of just making a SS bezel, see how it looks on the C8. :wink:

$ 6 is higher than i thought too.
I hoped it would be $ 5, then i would get 2 for sure.
I would get 1 for $6 though.

Cool 8)
