so i am rebuilding my MHS and giving it a massive update.

would i need a heatsink for a P4 overdriven at 1100ma?
and will it fit into choke 1 short under bladeholder 1?

would the OD of the heatsink need to be reduced (lathe) to fit inside the choke?
i might also be switching to the ribbed extension choke combo, and might have the same problem?

i tried to work it out in the MHS builder but without measurements of choke ID, it really makes my noggin itch lol

thanks!

Question;
1 Yes (all main LED need to be heatsinked)
2 Yes (not sure about the new style though)
3 No (That's where the heatsink goes)

4 No (all chokes are the same (as far as the threaded parts) in design)

No. That one is for custom blade holders, such as PVC.

This is the one you need for MHS http://www.thecustomsabershop.com/Copper-MHS-LED-MountHeatsink-P234.aspx
