Oh the agonyyyyy....16763...
At least take solace that you are now out of phase I and into phase II of the situation ...
Phase I - disbelief that your order will take as LONG as others, you are different and it won't be that long for you
Phase II - realization that yes it will take as LONG as others before you get yours, your guardian angle expediter was a pipe dream
Phase III - it's all good, see Cucco posts, like a fine wine you will be served when ready and it will be worth the wait
Don't spend too much time in phase II, it will put a mojo on your head that may require a shrink to remove
Hopefully it'll work for you. I put my KFL on it and not only was it huge, it looked weird and didn't make contact. You might be better off putting the Kick inside and taking the hit on the length of the ELA.
True. I may just kick it in 18350 mode. That'll work just fine, just not as long.
I screwed my Kiklet onto the KFL and it's maybe 1 RCH* off of a perfectly flush mount, can't really tell there's a space unless you look really hard, also a very slight step up to the KFL 22mm diameter. Easily resolved with a 1 RCH thick SS washer with the right OD. The Kiklet mated to the ELA end will have a slightly larger step as I think the Kiklet OD is about 21 or 20 mm. I intend to make some nice polished SS transitions at both ends using SS washers - I guarantee you it will look good. I'll start working on the Kiklet to KFL end and post a pic when I'm done.
*For those who know what an RCH is - true an unconventional way to say "thin", but nonetheless a recognized engineering unit of measure and used on drawings where ISO compliance is not a requirement
So your Lite makes contact with the Kiklet's center post?I screwed my Kiklet onto the KFL and it's maybe 1 RCH* off of a perfectly flush mount, can't really tell there's a space unless you look really hard, also a very slight step up to the KFL 22mm diameter.

I could have sworn i read he purchased another cnc machine to increase production...5mnths for preoder..ouch.. i know it will come perfect but 5-6mnths wait dont know if i can hold off that long..if i happen to score a unicorn at ecc..i may need to cancel my order i really like luv the ela but the wAit is a bit extreme imho
If you decide to cancel, please post here prior to. Some of us would love a second ELA.
Yes, with 1 RCH to spare, ~1/8 of a turn more (my guess) and the two cases would bottom out touching each other.
Machining is by and large done.
It's all down to fit and finishing.
Which is a one-man operation.
KFL on left, Kiklet on right, both screwed together tight ...
1 BHH (Blonde Head Hair) between the two, snug fit so 1 RCH gap is pretty much right on lol.
