For a quick fit integrated torch add-on module like this:



I can turn down an EVO torch front tube to just accomodate a scope mount and still allow the torch head to have enough focus adjustment, internally thread the rear end to accept the brass bush seen in the photo's and machine off the cooling fins - incorporating a machined shim/ridge to lift the torch beam slightly above center in the monitor. It's to be clamped inside a substantial quick release 30mm scope mount so you don't see the now bare alloy cooling rings that will become marked with pipe grips while fitting. The alloy quick release scope mount acts as a much better thermal heat sink than the cooling fins that have been machined down to 30mm diameter. This allows the torch tube to very robustly carry the monitor and battery box, in fact THIS robustly:

This allows the torch to be located very close to other internal components, minimising the box size required. Note: twin anti-rotation screws used

For a spotter build
I can leave the cooling fins intact on a slightly shorter tube because it doesn't need to fit into a rifle scope mount, as used in this completely cordless wifi car roof mag mount spotter.


The fitted and wired integrated torch installation would be as seen here - occupying minimal space inside a project box and can be fitted in very close proximity to other internal components. Note I prefer twin anti-rotation screws, one here is in fact a grub screw.

How to fix them:
Buyer files a half round groove into at least one spanner flat and threads of the brass bush using a 3mm or 4mm needle file - this will help with a later stage. (I prefer to make two slots in case one goes wrong and I break a drill or tap in it) Drill a 20mm hole through the box. Fit and tighten up the torch body through it with the bush using a 21mm socket and pipe grips. Using the 3mm filed slot as a drill guide, drill and tap it for at least one anti-rotation screw passing through the box into the torch body sidewall. This will double up to screw a neutral cable eye for the illuminator earth cable. The positive cable for the pill can be soldered to its coil spring.

The price for either machined torch tube with the brass bush is £25 posted RMSD.
