[Mod] Convoy S2+, plus...

Wow !

Nice job , sir .

Very well done FMC! Thanks for the detailed how-to.

Cheers all :beer:

It’s a copper fuel injector seal from a diesel engine. Goes between the injector & the cylinder head.

It just happens to be an almost perfect size for the S2+ w/Carclo optic.

I don’t suppose there’s a cheap online source? Usually not with specific engine parts

this is very cool!

really clever! ;)

To connect switch atiny13, must be made flash mod?

or just connect to the PIN reset and GND?

These look like the ones, but I cant say for sure. Mine came out of a Toyota 1hd-fte.
They don’t appear to be cheap (at least on fleabay).

Yes, you will have to flash with a e-switch type firmware, such as STAR Momentary.

Depending on the firmware, it’s usually Pin2 (or the fourth star of a 105c).

Love it!

Very nice idea for the switch. Really cool build!

Nice switch! Love how it’s almost unnoticeable against the side of the light, but gives the full function of an e-switch.

I’m thinking of modding my S2+ mini 18350 into an e-switch light. My approach is much less professional looking though: Instead I’ll glue the e-switch onto the outside of the light then bulid a small casing around it out of aluminum, with a cut-down rubber boot.

Once that’s complete, the next step would be to cut down the tailcap. After all: one advantage of a sideswitch is that it’s no longer necessary to have space in the tail for a tail clicky. I figure this would will let me reduce my 84mm S2+ mini to maybe 74mm. The projecting sideswitch casing would also serve as an anti-roll mechanism. Battery would be the same IMR 18500 my S2+ mini is using now with an estimated OTF output of maybe 2500 lumens on a fresh cell.

Very nice work, I really like the Convoy S lights, so many great mods have been done with them.

Very creative. I like how descret it is yet easy to feal for and locate. I might have to give this a try.

wow nice build. big effort with the e switch

Sweet. Very nice mod. This is another thread that the pictures make everything look bigger than it really is.

If only it was bigger….
Did l mention it was a PITA…. :slight_smile:

WOW!! Awesome mod…never though I would see a side clicky on a Convoy S series tube light

Very sweet build. Congratulations.

Brilliant solution for a side switch!

It looks live a good job done! :stuck_out_tongue:

Great work on that switch.

I can imagine… But it’s a quality mod, that’s for sure.
