I know someone posted o ring information in a light head conversion. I just spent the last 2 hours looking for the thread. Can someone post what o-rings they used to make the mag light conversoion water tight? Do I need to beef up the OEM o-rings or will they work as is? Thanks

Steve

Steve-

Don't know if it will help you, but the link in my signature is for a 3D Maglite conversion. I didn't use JB Weld in any of the joints; all are o-rings. To date, I've never had any leaks.

I replaced the end cap o-ring with a 1 3/16 ID X 3/32 c/s.
I moved the original end cap o-ring up to the joint between the body and head.
I used 1 15/16 ID X 3/32 c/s on both sides of the lens.
I kept the original o-ring for the lens bezel

Hope this helps
