I have met this problems with SS rings in X5 set, 50% of manufactured were defects so I decided to use brass for such parts.
I`m checking all IDs to make sure there is more than 24.0mm to fit carclo quad inside, while external diameter is not so important because (as I thought) all hosts are same and 0.1-0.2mm gap will be enough. I hope all stock glass lens are same size (28.9mm), so I will make 28.6-28.8mm external ring diameter next time.
I ordered a few X6 AL heatsinks on 5 Oct. I was surprised to receive them today 15 Oct. I’d say that was pretty quick shipping. The heatsinks look great. Thanks kiriba-ru
Lathe machining is made, now I have some problems with milling operator. Rings from brass are ready.
I will defenetly finish them but I cant promise deadline.
X7 Cu spacers, couple of P60 solid neck Al, couple of P60 solid neck Cu, second batch of M2 quad kits, few of F13 Cu spacers, few of P60 surefire-compatible RR quad drop-ins and S2+ Cu spacers are next to produce, I think this parts will be ready in the mid. of November.
No, it is different, but yes, idea is the same.
I have tried to make it most short. Copper insert have Convoy S threads (please take pills from this giveaway: ReyLight Titanium Triple Ti 1 host & ti Clip )
