Stainless steel Goodman handles

[scottk]

Hey,

If anyone needs one, I did a small run of 25 stainless steel Goodman handles to replace the corroding aluminum units on EE lights. They are made of .100" 316L, and strong enough to stand on (well, maybe not Dinky Dave).

Also, if you own a Green Force, I am going to be making a few (as of now 6 pieces) Delrin adaptors to attach the 10w head. If you want one, ping me, as it will be a while before I do another batch.

Any of you home builders need one or two handles w/adaptors or an odd diameter, ping me with details and I'll see about adapting yours.

Do you make a Goodman handle that will fit the OMS L197H light head?

Good job.

There is a market for single tank wings btw. Just one player now. Might be a good opportunity.

Take it easy,

I would need to measure it, or have you send me dimensions.

Scott,
Looks nice - nice work. Keep us updated on the wing. Looking good,

Is it the same width as the halcyons? I find mind a smidge too small for when i have thick gloves on. If yours was a smidge bigger it might be just right.

Nice work Scott! I, like many others, are awaiting the singles wing. Where can one find a little knife like the one in the picture for the handle? I haven't been able to find it anywhere.

It's like pulling teeth to get those cavers to think about us cold-water divers!!

It always felt like a snug fit to me in 5mil wet gloves, but in drygloves, the Halcyon handle fits well.

I talked to someone who told me he was the product manager at halcyon - he mentioned a cold water goodman in a month or so. But, as always in diving, never hold your breath. I can't believe no one else has brought this up before - and it only needs another quarter inch or so but it would make a huge difference. Having looked at the other handles for different manufacturers, they all seem to be adjustable in the width direction - which only makes sense i think.

Oh well, you cant expect much for a 1000 dollar flashlight.

Steve,
Not sure, you could email Scott and ask. Cold water modifications are a little slow to happen with some the warmer water mfg. DR just introductd an OPV for argon for example,
