so i just have to find a good spring now i must have one in a torch or something lol oh i did find some donut coils as well im gona order some at end of the month for a giggle I wonder if you can buy the hcigar springs on their own, they're a lot stiffer than the ones in the focal job. found an old car ciggy lighter and nicked the spring outa that it fits and works with a bit of messing about with pliers, left the tin can in and im v happy bunny (did put some copper slip grease on the tincan bit)

Not to keen on the copper grease, I think it'll just collect dirt and foul up the switch. Mine often gets dirty as it is if I keep it in my pocket.

decoy I jammed mine in and it works fine, I know why you flattened a side though, I seen where it gets tight but yeh, works fine so left mine as is.
