Here are a couple of shots of my modified mount and laser. I cut the tube down with a hacksaw and soldered directly to the power connection on the circuit board. The power wires then go to a small regulator circuit which will maintain the voltage at 3.00V even when it is cold. Very simple circuit, LM317 regulator as I recall and a couple of resistors.

The mount is a lumicon.
