Seems like you have everything you will need accept a drill index. Pick yourself up one. Not too expensive, and you will need a nice selection for modding. Man that is a small swich, but the review I read said it was great for flashlight mods and box mods. I use the larger horn switch but that would be too large for a small flashlight mod.

i will most certainly pick one up but do you have any clue how big i should drill the hole for the switch??....

i will pick one up later today when i wake up from what is suppose to be bed time haha (its now 4am) iv read that the hole should be 1/8 for the exact switch i got but making it a little bigger wont hurt it because it will be glued on the inside with epoxy either way...maybe i should research more before posting

where did you order your flashlights from?
