Fully Mechanical Switch For the Bombshell Stinger

[iPoosk]

So a while ago I posted about my concern about the stock tactile switch that's installed in the Stinger

So instead of installing a more robust switch, I decided to go full mechanical. The switch is definitely not very pretty but considering my tools (drill as a makeshift lathe, Dremel, flies and sandpaper), at least functionality, it turned out pretty well. I would have preferred to have a two piece tube design but I couldn't get a nylon insert with a large enough diameter. Instead, I milled down some PVC pipes to fit I tested it out with the Kick for a while before I turned it over to straight battery and the thing is working great. Just thought I'd share since it's the first modding I've ever done

Looks good to me, and the different color of the button makes it unique. I'm not much of an electrician... how does it work? The two posts is the connection between the 510 (top) and battery (bottom), but how does the switch and screw interact? In the link it says the screw completes the circuit, but from there I'm lost LOL.

The middle screw gets depressed by the button and makes contact with both sides of the switch (battery and 510). That allows the current to pass through the middle screw and into the 510 end of the switch.
