Magnets are not going to work imo, there isn't enough room to get strong enough magnets, I believe I saw somewhere 9.5mm diameter "might" work.

I ended up using some RG6 coaxial cable that was left over and made a replacement copper spring, works 100% of the time with 0 binds.

no, they dont at all, its actually my favorite mod i own, im just a sucker for magnetic upgrades, just make sure that your positive post screw is sticking out enough on your atty to contact the battery without also toucing the outside threading, or it will be short city.

Hmm, I don't have either mod, but wondering out loud here; if the switch for the 4nine would be compatible?

Caff ... I have both 49 and SMPL clones. The switches are very different. 49 attaches 1 magnet to battery and 1 to switch working in opposition to keep circuit open where SMPL switch is one closed component. The 49 switch does not pass through bottom of mod tube while the SMPL switch is screwed past the bottom of the mod tube until battery is captured between switch and atty positive pin. The SMPL switch is an extremely elegant solution which eliminates battery rattle which is simply part of running a 49.

Taver ... my SMPL clone was delivered with a magnetic switch. I don't have a springed version to compare with, but ... https://www.fasttech.com/p/1927601 might work for you as a $15 magnetic switch donor. The original authentic switch was updated with an improved switch and the clone switch components may or may not mirror the v1 authentic or the v2 authentic. And, as shown on the link ... mine mirrors only the function of the SMPL design. Love this clone though.
