Oh, I must have missed that. Thanks. 
No prob. :)
At first I thought I should add some phrases concerning a good heatsink, maybe modding the upper part of the host and so on.. then I noticed that the posters name was scaru. :D
What is the height of the module with and without the optics?
If anyone wonders... inside diameter of the Mag D body, where the head screws on is 34mm, and outside diameter is 44mm.

Not quite sure I’m deserving of that compliment. :8)
It's good to have you here, rschultz101!

Thats what i was thinking, just tap and die the center hole
The full mechanical specifications can be found in the original post, but the height is 15.4mm. I always assume a little slop due to manufacturing tolerances and leave 16mm of clearance.

Edit: Without optics, the tallest thing on the circuit board is the Inductor. Without optic the total height is 0.4mm (circuit board) + 5mm (Inductor) = 5.4mm.
The XM-L emitters are 3.02mm tall, so the height of the emitters is 0.4mm + 3.02mm = 3.42mm
Those numbers are a LITTLE low since there is some solder between the inductor/emitters and the circuit board, but at most the solder accounts for an additional 0.127mm (5 mil solder stencil).
Almost There!

Oh, wow. Man, you are such a tease. :)
That wasn't a tease.. This is a tease :)
Hehe..
PPtk
I can actually SEE the dirty smile on your face right now!
Haha, That's great :) Look really closely into the 24 karat gold pads and you're probably right, I'm sure I'm reflected in one of them :-)

For those who are intending on purchasing a DIY Kit, here is the assembly drawing - shows which part goes where. All of this information is on the Silk-Screen of the board, but I find it much easier to build when I can look at a reference (and possibly even make notes on it).

Pilot:
I'm in for this one: Cool white U2 Flux 1C Tint, fully assembled module. Can't wait to review this bad boy.
Just tell me where to send the Paypal and when.

I thought you were NeutraWhiteLovingFoy ? ?
Gold plating for solder pads can be a bad thing! Gold tends to form intermetallic compounds with lead/tin/aluminum (google "purple plague" for a well known example). These can be brittle and poorly conductive. Components have been known to fall of circuit boards...
He'll buy both versions anyway, we know the Foy, dont we? ;)
looking great Pilot, can't wait to see these in action.
About the programming - can the controller chips be supplied programmed off the board for self-assemblers or can they only be programmed after assembly using the pads on the board?
I am . . . but I'm going for lumens on this deal, or . . . will these neutrals be as bright as the 1C?
