Looking for 14mm tall springs...

Flashlight Modding and DIY Parts

I have not been able to find 14mm tall tail springs for lighted tailcap boards for Solarforce hosts. Please let me know if anyone has a source, I have been able to find 11.5 but not the really big ones.

Thanks Matt

Where have you looked? It would save me time covering old ground.

They do exist: http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Switch-Spring-for-501B-502B-Flashlight/1901760948.html

Try this: flashlight spring "14mm" OR "spring:14mm" - Google Search

and under “search tools” set it for “Verbatim” (and maybe limit it to more recent time spans).

I just got as far as verifying they exist in that premade switch, I didn’t dig on through the subsequent pages of search results to see if someone offers them separately.

(some of the hits are just clickbait garbage sites that throw in every possible term to sucker people to click into the page, so as usual beware what you click on)

This page on KD has 13 mm and 16 mm springs.

I have ordered each from KD and will see which one will work.

Thanks Guys, my googlefu must not be the best!
