Desperately seeking 8mm/9mm centering insulators

Why aren't these available anywhere?? I know they exist, I have some right in front of me...

left: 8mm TR-J18 & Securitying; right: 9mm, various larger lights

(and no, the different versions added recently at Fasttech aren't what I'm looking for, they are both listed as '9mm' but that is the outside diameter, the raised part is 7mm)

Am I going to have to buy some tubing and make the stupid things myself? |(

the C10 has a nasty wide one too.

Here is one with an 8.7mm reflector opening. This seller has several sizes. I have 10 of every size ordered.

The one at the top is listed at FT, but out of stock. I have it tagged to send an email if it ever reappears.

This one?--> http://www.fasttech.com/products/1576104 Look a little closer, the raised locating section is 7mm like all the others.

Great question. The top on in the OP looks like the ones in the earlier TR-3T6's. I really like those and would buy a bunch if I could find that exact type.

You're my hero! Also, holy hell, I just spent forty-eight dollars on little pieces of plastic! :tired:

Mine arrived today. 17 days after I ordered. That’s not bad at all. I get faster shipping form the Aliexpress dealers than from the popular sellers like Banggood, Fasttech, Wallbuuys, etc.
I ordered 10ea of 6 different styles. I did not order the 4 oddballs in the center of my picture. They sent those for free :bigsmile:
I like free.

Hey Texas, I like the look of the 2 on the top of your pic. Especially, the one on the top right. Do you have a product link to that one or both of the top ones?

Here are all 6 items I ordered.

I order some of the bottom 3 you listed. Thank you Texas Toasted.

Still hoping one of us finds a source for the top one in the Comfy's OP picture.

If the raised ring that fits in the hole in the reflector is the same size, the rest of it really doesn't matter much. Even the thickness isn't all that critical, they can be sanded thinner or glued to a shim to make them thicker. I've even made them from scratch but the tricky part is keeping the raised part concentric with the LED (and also the right size - I usually get the parts either nice and round and pretty, or about the right size, but rarely both at the same time).
