Z57 - Making it a 2-stage question

skillet · Feb 9, 2019

It seems all the old threads about modding a Z57 into a 2 stage twist/click all have broken photo links.
Does anyone still have any photos for the how to's of this mod?

If you're thinking of placing McE2S into a Z57 then i can send you some pictures but not before Tuesday. I'm away at the moment.
But if it helps maybe this link will do the work...

Thanks for the quick reply!! I had forgotten about those.. but there was some how to's on adding a resistor to a Z57.. twist for low and click on for high.. I actually built one back in the day and was just wanting to go over it again. I don't like the new "gas peddle" tail caps much and thought I might try a two stage Z57 on a EDCL2 T head to try to achieve hi/low function

Huh, i must say i've never heard of something like that. On the other hand i'm a big fan of dual stages/twisties[emoji41]

Wow, I know the old threads pretty well & have always been a fan of two-stage tailcaps - I even have a McC2S Z41 tailcap stashed away to fund part of my retirement, lol. But this is the first I've heard about doing this with a Z57, huh.

I think you're referring to this thread but as you mentioned the photos are gone

In the end, it virtually turns the tail cap into a twisty with the option to turn it on low and high by connecting the spring and the contact on the clicky with a resistor.

Pictures would definitely help

Here is the thread.. I believe it'll come back to me when I get it apart..

Very interesting. I've never seen this before either. Does anyone know if a Z41 version exists anywhere?
