Simon is back up and running. Just ordered 5 of his clips and a red and blue 16340 tube for my Convoy S2+ lights. I’ll report back when I get them. 
Wow, I’m really liking what I see on Simon’s new website. Many items have dropped in price considerably and for most he no longer has a minimum order quantity. Yipee! :bigsmile:
Oh, hang on, that means I’ll probably end up spending even more money there. Rats! 
New clips now available singly.
Lower prices are always nice… except, when you are still waiting for an “older” order which has not arrived :~
Just ordered 10 clips from his store.
Bought few from Simon, those clips also fit Fenix E35UE quite nicely.
What diameter & length are these (can”t find it on Simon”s site) as I am wondering if they would fit a Thorfire C8s.
The recess on the Thorfire is 23mm diameter, between the 2 tube recess” is 40mm & the length from the tail recess to where the tube starts to flare out is about 50mm so if it were designed for a tube about 23mm & no longer than 50mm it should fit.
The inner diameter of the clip attachment is 23mm. Overall length is a hair over 65mm. Keep in mind a little over 15mm of that overall length is eaten up by the deep carry design so the distance from the clip attachment point to the bottom of the clip comes in under 50mm.
I don’t know if that makes it too long for the Thorfire C8 or not. I know it does fit the Convoy C8 as you see below though not entirely ideal in my opinion. Opinions vary though…
Thanks for the information J-Dub74
I actually ordered 3 yesterday after seeing a picture of a Thorfire C8s with one of the Convoy deep carry clips fitted.
2 for my Thorfires & 1 for a convoy S2+.
The Thorfire question must’ve gotten asked in a different thread too, cause I took this photo for somebody just a couple of days ago:
Nice! A picture is worth a thousand words… Thank you emarkd.
anyone have a picture with the clip on the very last groove? seems to me that would put the top of the tailcap about a inch down in from the top of your pocket? second groove about the same as the bolt on clip?
I didn’t know how much anyone would care for that but it’s been on my mind for a while. Give me a few minutes…
Thanks for giving me the excuse. 
It actually sits less than half an inch above the tail but the clip retention is still just as strong and solid.
A picture is worth a thousand words right?
Please read the following 3000 words…
I was rather disappointed with Simon this time out. I ordered more than a week ago and it hadn’t shipped. I contacted him for an update and it would have been ‘maybe’ sometime next week before the order even finishes processing. That would have been 2-3 weeks to process and another 2-3 weeks to ship. I’m just (personally) unwilling to wait 4-6 weeks for something I could/should have ordered from Richard at M.E. and I would have received it last week.
Just venting a bit but I’ve had several companies jerk me around on various products. Most were Chinese and one U.S. and I just don’t want to do business with a company that can’t ship quickly. I know he’s just moved and they had a holiday or are having a holiday but I feel you don’t advertise that you’re up and running and then can’t ship in less than 2 weeks (or longer). I guess I just don’t want to wait 4-6 weeks for something I could have at my door in 3 days for a few dollars more.
Sorry for the venting, just promised an update in my previous post and wanted to update.
Now you know why we all get the CNY blues around here… Two weeks of clicking “Refresh” on New Arrival pages… But the same old arrivals from before…
I actually wondered about it when you said the store was back up and running. It wasn’t working for me until a few days after you said that and when it was open there was s a disclaimer banner that nothing will ship until after February 15th. Unfortunate for you but there’s nothing Simon can do about it. The Chinese New Year pretty much shuts the all of China down for near a month. I also expect orders from any Chinese supplier shipping right after CNY have a higher chance of shipping issues as they try to catch up from taking a month off. Fasttech doesn’t even take orders during this time. I think I actually prefer a full shutdown like that as there is no confusion.
Cheap as they are you could always grab a handful from Richard for a few dollars.
Edit: I do sympathize. This stinks for me too. Simon and I typically communicate daily and I’ve gotten maybe two responses from him in the last three weeks. I knew it was coming but man… a whole month? Sigh… CNY blues sounds about right.
i am gonna have to replace the bolt on clips on all my convoys with these! thanks for the pic J-Dub!
You’re quite welcome. Your post was a good reminder for me. I’d been thinking about what it would be like mounted on that last ring since I started tinkering with the design but by the time the clips came it had been pushed to the back of my mind.
Thank you. I probably should have expected it. I was surprised when I was able to see/order from Simon’s website a day before expected. Didn’t see a banner at that time so it may not have been up yet. No big deal really and life goes on 
i don’t like how high up the tail cap sits with with the old style clip. always seems like it is too easy to turn the light on by accident. and i never realize till my pocket is 150 degrees, all my lights are triples running off FET drivers with copper spacers from MTN.
