Last night I was navigating the river and my Convoy C8 died.

Does anyone here happen to have a thread handy on replacement guts that I can put into my host body? I don't mind soldering. I just don't want to sift threads to figure out where the cheapest parts are.  I just want my light working, illuminating stuff a long way out.

For clarity, I'm not asking anyone to sift through the info.; don't spend your time. Only bother if you have something at hand. I just don't want to spend the time sifting through flashlight build info right now and if someone already has a thread handy that gives me the part numbers and place to pick them up it would be helpful.

Followup:

Mountain Electronics is out of stock on a new flashlight, so I think I am going to modify what I have in the following manner:

It looks fairly easy, and it will be interesting to see if there is a marked improvement over what I already had going on.

I just went home for 4 weeks and brought my Convoy C8 and it was fine.  I would have posted your link, but I wasn't on the computer all that much.

They're easy to fix, although I've never built/modded a light.

Richard at Mountain can set you up with all of the parts.

Good luck, Chris

I've got everything I need in a padded envelope from MTN Electronics.  I just need to find time.
