Guys I am having a horrible time trying to figure out how to add a samll momentary swith to this box. If anyone know how someone did this please let me know. I emailed Tim a few minutes ago about pre drilling a hole for me on this box.

I used Radio Shack's micro momentaries on mine. I drilled a small hole for each into the side of the box, just big enough for the button, then used a shaped piece of nylon to friction-fit the switches in place. The box can be secured to the saber's body by drilling and tapping two screw holes on the bottom of the box.

Another option is to order the box from Tim, ask him to drill and tap two holed for the switch 21 (that's what BlessedWrath's look like), wire them up and then screw them into the box from the inside, there should be enough room (barely).

I did mine just like BlessedWrath, only mine stick out of each end. Don't stick out very far and are not very noticeable. They are held in place by a couple pieces of plastic I cut from a cap off a little bottle of water and those pieces are held in place by the screws that mount the box to the hilt. Pretty simple, but it worked out well. I dont have a good close picture, but you can see the one sticking out of the back a little bit here.
