Those links won't work for him because they are for the Graflex itself. Assuming he's refering to the "Project Graflex" site then that is based on the 1.5" sink tube. In that case order the standard sink tube blade holders and look at Jonitus' topic stikied here. Basically you'll have to dremel out some stuff if you want accurate switches or put them elsewhere.

In that case the topic stickied should do you well. The hitch is the switch. If you want you could probably cut the top off the blade holder to have the sheet metal "bulb clamp" be there or use the blade holder as is... whatever works for you.

if he's not wanting sound he can put the holder flush with bottom edge of s curve. i did that in a real graflex with tims holder, for led but i had sound in mine. and it was a real graflex, but the principle is the same. as far as the switch, there are red buttons with a momentary or latching switch put in them. he could use one of those, depending on if its el or led to which type he would use.

Everything can be found in the store found at the link at the top/middle of the page, what u will be looking for is the MHS blade holder style 1. Just look under the MHS section in the hilt section.
