I'll ask my friend C.G to post a more informed answer to your question. She deals with this type of stuff every day, and even managed to get a die to cut the threads. Unfortunately I never got a chance to try it because I had got the delta ring to fit by butchering it a little on the lathe. My thread pitch tool seemed to confirm it as 1.5 (read: imperial), but we'll knock heads and try and get you the info...

Can you please post some pics of the battery solution? I don't understand how that battery can fit in the rear tube.
Absolutely Raygis, I'll be working on it more this weekend.


EDIT: I goofed, I meant to say metric... I had originally ordered an M30*1.5 die, and the diameter was wrong.
Edit: Part Deux: heh, I really like the look of those tactical latches.
