2AA Mini-Mag with a Side Switch, DrJones driver and a 3-up - just another crazy mod... It's Finished!

Very nice… particularly like how you mounted the switch.

Apologies if you said so in the video, but where did the switch cover come from?

Thanks O-L

its always interesting to see your mods.. and you usually show as if it is pretty easy to do...

I can`t come even close to what you do with your mags...

(probably this is going up for sale pretty soon?)

@ MRsDNF - The rubber switch cover went in the body first, before the rest went in.

@Slewflash - Answered in Sirius9's post. aDWE34 This assembly replaces what would be the dummy cell.

@ ruffles - The switch cover came out of a cheap multi-led light.

@ChibiM - Once the Efest battery comes in and I do beam shots, it will go up for sale.

That’s a serious cram job. Until you’ve modded a Minimag, it’s hard to realize just how much less room there is than in an 18650 host. Always interesting to watch these evolutions.

You rascal! You can truly put 5 lbs. of stuff in a 1 lb. sack!!! ...and STILL make it look good!!

Neat Mod, video and images!!! Thanks for sharing!!

Dan.

Glad you use your powers for good, instead of evil.

Love your work O-L, simply love the out-of-the-box thinking that goes on at your place!

Would like a shot at that one my own self, auction it off, make us pay for that ingenuity! :slight_smile: (or just sell it to me cheap on the sly before you tell anyone else what the price is :wink: )

LOL. Very few posts have me doing that. Well said Gj.

I just had to come and look at this again!! A mini with a side switch!! And just this week, I ran like a chicken in the rain when a customer wanted a side switch on a little light with two 14500's.... And I make the whole thing ....much easier in my mind than doing a mod! He gets when finished, a twisty!!

I MIGHT re think this now and surprise him... Get out the jewelers tweezers and optics... microscope, band aids, a glass of scotch to steady the hands, 3 more lathes, two more mills, another dial indicator, rip out another hand full of hair, Tylenol, 16 new gadgets.... never mind.... twisty it is!

Go ahead..... Laugh! I see that grin! I can't help it if I need a tug boat to launch a canoe!!! CAN'T HELP IT!!! CAN'T!!!!!!

Excellent work , Mr. Justin .

It was just a plain old dark blue MiniMag

'Till the Godfather modded it without a snag

It's now stylish and bright

and the man with this light

Will obviously have every right to brag

I like it, I really really like it. Nice job o-l you do make these things look easy.

Its ok Texas. Deep breath. OL is special and yes I do know how you feel and I do have a fix for you but you must keep it to yourself. SHHHH. The hard to get prescription pain killers I’m on are in the mail to you. I feel you need them more than I do. They do come with a warning though. As much as they expand the minds ability to trick you into thinking you can do anything like build this light, DONT. Curl up on the couch and be happy with the thought that you have just built this light. Stay safe and be good now.
PS. The scotch is an option that should be removed from the list.

Well then, I won't tell you how many times I just measure "by eye" and don't even pick up the ruler. "Looks like it will fit" is my motto.Sealed Of course if it doesn't fit, it always fits in the trash can.Tongue Out

Just send me the gall derned drugs and I won't need to do any more of these gall derned mods.Tongue Out

How did you find out? I’m worried now. It was a secret between me and Dan.

Out loud Steve. :wink:

Good thing you finished that mod first.

MRsDNF, I thought you said you wouldn't tell!!! Danged Aussie! Ha! So now I am supposed to do it WITHOUT scotch???? Not a prayer!

THEN... OL has to do his thing about "No Ruler"... well! Me Neither... just calipers, micrometers, 3 computer programs and sometimes a laser!!! HaHa!! I don't use rulers! hehehe.... you guys are just too much fun!! Dan.

Looks like it turned out great OL! I wonder who the lucky owner will be.

Maybe you should try to do what DBSstm said. Put it on a BLF auction thread. Once a bid stays for 12hours, its sold. Something like that...

I know all the old timers miss Justins mods. It’s amazing what he did, almost on a daily basis with only hand tools and a drill press. In Justins honor, I’m bumping this old thread so some newer forum members can see his talent.
