i have issues with my atty connector. i probly messed it up while soldering. if i tight the atty all the way in it shorts the dang thing. im gonna try some JB weld on the inside part of and see if it keeps the dang thing from moving...

 

[Jules22871]

Thanks for the link. I'm going to have to sweet talk my son into trying to make one.

 

[misterD]

How else would you do it if you didnt solder? I may end up doing this myself,lol

 

[misterD]

problem is the ground to the atty connector (the outside part).
so i drilled a whole on a quarter and stuck the atty into it. it fits perfectly on the flashlight than you can glue it but make sure that theres still contact between flashlight and coin. you still have to solder the switch to +atty connector though.
