Cree MC-E/P7 Goodman Handle

[Randy g]

Cree MC-E/P7 and SST50 goodman handles.

This was my second go round in fabbing the handles. I like the rounded handle on the SST better than the P7's squared on one side look. I welded each of the handle joints togather as well as the light platform. I riveted the tube onto the SST handle and it seems very secure, I'll prolly ad alittle epoxy to each side of it as well.


P7 is zip tied on. I have to find a pipe the correct size to make it easily removable.

SST 50 holder using 1.5 plumbing pipe.

Thanks!

Revision #2 for the Cree.......

I made this one for Kate's hand to fit into. The original one was modeled after my hand size and to large for Kates hand to really use effeciently. So I made a smaller one sized for her hand.

The two different sizes for mens and womens hands.

Is that aluminium? If so, how easy it is to bend? I don't have a welder so maybe I'll just use a nut and screw.

 

[Randy g]

Yes it is. 3/4" aluminum strapping from lowes. It is pretty tough stuff and takes alittle muscle to bend. Aluminum pop rivets work well with it. I drilled/recessed the rivet head into the strap to give it a smooth surface on the parts that are facing the hands.

We dove them last week and they worked great!

Ows about this lot then?

How did you bend that aluminium?

 

[haibeis]

matey - dead easy to bend - clamped in a vice - smacked lovingly with a hammer...

Has anyone tried Oxycheq's Universal Light Sock?

1 triglide, 2 o rings, 1 spare length of bungie. works brilliantly with gloved hands,
I used large o rings to secure the torch but should be ok with tie wraps.
total cost..... nowt... had all the bits in my spares box.
If you want a shiney version you could use a stainless triglide and black bungie cord.
