Yeah, it would certainly be a nice mod but it will still be a fairly expensive one once everything is added up (MCPCBs, LEDs, your parts, optics). I would not go for copper as the Q8 is already quite heavy but perhaps others would.
No use for a tail PCB as I’ve bypassed it directly to the tube. So it’s only a spring holder now with no electrical purpose.
I have made very limited quantity of M1 quad sets. 15 or 20pcs. They were made to fit Khatod optics because some members wanted to test it and I had to choose one host for it. All were sold in the beginning of this year. This is very unpopular mod, sorry, Im not going to make them anymore.
I could probably found some suitable spacer in my stocks, but main part (in difference with Dale’s mods) of my quad kit is ring that holds optics (and allows to make spacer shorter and shelf surface smoother). Now I even dont have material to make it (ring).
The only thing I can offer - I still have several M2 kits and various VG10 kits (all for Carclo optics).
I don’t see those in your OP. Any details about the M2 kits? Copper or alu? Do they also have an optic retaining ring or push it flush against the lens? Or do they fit for use without the lens? I think the diameter of the M2 is about right for that.
That’s quite the chunk How much do they sell for? Are those rings wide enough to hold the optic without a lens or are they meant to be used with the lens only?
Im not against if this lottery will take longer than I expexted (most future projects are paused cause small demand for stocked parts), so I dont give tips that can make guess easy.
I just want to say that chances will raise if you will use collective brain. All interested supposes mentioned in thread went this way. Amount of information that was already given is more than enough to make right conclutions.
Ordered an X6 cu spacer, plus Ledil Cute-3SS TIR - and I'm absolutely wrapped with them. I finally got around to fitting the spacer on the weekend. A little bit of finish sanding (as is stated in the description), and the spacer slides in so neatly, it's airtight. Really happy with it - great machining, great tolerances. The packaging was also excellent (arrived in a little plastic box with each part wrapped in foam).
