I like the way you think. I was thinking the same thing.
I wanted to do this, but looking at the plug I don’t think it’s possible.. there is also a huge valley in the end cap which I don’t see on the bottom of the holiday special
I wanted to do this mostly because of the graflex name on the bottom of the cap
Yeah, I’ll look over it again... I couldn’t save it if I put it on the lathe and sanded it down.
all very true.
Couple of quick notes about the end cap.
We can’t jam it in as it is the same size as the outside of the main flash tube.
And not all the bottom caps have the huge slot. I’ve got two variations and one of them only has a tripod screw mounting hole.

I was thinking, what if the bit holding the belt clip ring (what people are using the keyring part for) was a camera part akin to a sling lug - something 1/4-20 threaded (tripod threading) that they found in the boxes of old camera equipment. Maybe even screwed into another camera part that was jammed into the end of the graphlite? Plenty of slave flashes have a similar threaded connection on the end. Until the previous post I thought maybe the graphlite cap itself but looks like that's not the case if there's not enough there to turn down.
Oh man!! The one on the right would work perfect!! All 3 of mine have the slot. I should defiantly sand it down until it fit if I had one like that!! That’s exactly what I want
Would anyone want something like this sized to fit?

This is what I mean-- mine all have the tripod mount.
Does that one have enough material on the inside that you could sand it down and shove it in? (that sounded horrible)
**reports post**
Not sure-- I'm not at home, but as soon as I get there I will see what the story is!
YES, PLEASE!
That’s would be perfect solution. Maybe do one version with the stamping, and one blank, similar to how some replicas of OT Graflexes are offered.
I'm definitely in for this bottom cap. However, I would suggest modeling it after the actual graflite cap instead of the graflex bottom stamping. If possible of course
