Help request to the hive: specific S2 reflector needed for ongoing mod.

Flashlight Modding and DIY Parts
1

Hi All,

On Christmas day I ordered a batch of six S2 style reflectors from Fasttech for a multi-emitter mod I've been working on. Half of the order was smooth and half OP. Of course half the order were not the reflector represented by their website and I was predictably miffed. On testing it turns out they actually did me a favor and the reflectors they sent in error did the job quite nicely while the part of the order they got right just aren't right for the project.

Long story short is that I've got three out of four needed and while I've ordered more from FT I have no faith in getting the same type. Based on past experience I also do not believe contacting them will improve my chances. Other vendors also do not carry this specific item.

So I come to the hive to beg with hat in hand. I'm hoping I can buy a reflector or two off someone who has a spare or has one in their parts bin from a previous mod. The one I want is the OP unit with the wide hole, smooth bottom, and tall lower lip. Pics follow. The one I want is on the left.

I'll happily pay a fair price and shipping. Thanks in advance.

Brian

I have that one. PM me your address and I’ll send it to ya. I’m hoping you are in a town in Maine called Paris and not some suburb of Paris named Maine.

Thank you Sir, PM inbound!

Would you believe my town is right next to Norway, Maine? And about 40 minutes south of Mexico, Maine,and an hour north of Lebanon? The settlers of northern Massachusetts may not have been the most original of thinkers.

I should have it in the mail tomorrow. Per our agreement, please send me one triple minimag in return and we’ll call it even :wink:

Does that get you all you needed?

Now wait one gosh darned minute!!! That reflector's worth at least two triple minis, fair's fair after all!

Seriously, your generosity is much appreciated. This community continually amazes me.

Yeah Keltex, it's going to be a quad so I'm good unless I screw something up. Thanks for asking.

As expected Fasttech got the order right and sent me the reflectors I didn't want. So WillyD's generosity saved the day! Quad S2 reflector build thread coming soon.
