Haha, nice. Glad you linked to that post or I wouldn’t have noticed the reference.
Unrelated note - nobody has received a raw aluminium FW3A yet have they? I ordered one yonks ago, but it still hasn’t shown up despite the other stuff I ordered at the same time (including a purple FW3A) arriving weeks ago. I just checked on my order and I can see that the raw aluminium one hasn’t even been shipped yet.
I got some protected 35E’s and they fit in my 219c and sst20 FW3As but not in my titanium and copper version. That has a different tail switch arrangement.
Absolutely hated the switch in my titanium version, too soft/mushy and no click what so ever. Swapped it with the switch from my aluminum and its perfect now. Nice solid click and you actually have to apply pressure instead of breathing on it to activate. Wonder if the different size plastic nub has anything to do with it?
Mine is strange, I swapped out all the parts, no change
Then I swapped out an aluminum tail cap for the brass, worked perfectly.
So there is something different in the cap.
It works just fine until that last slight turn to get the signal to work then it is like crushed, still works but too little distance in the throw.
Even changed the inner tube, no help. Something in the copper cap.
My other copper FW3 works perfectly
Can not figure it out.
When I first switched the buttons I didn’t notice a difference either, until I removed the retaining ring on the tail of my Ti light. With the button form the aluminum light(little nub) and no ring, it’s perfect.
