Your pommel insert and o-ring are for a V2 pommel. You have a V1 pommel selected, so you'll need to get a V1 pommel insert and clip instead.

Also, you'll need a latching circuit. Either replace your switch with a latching switch, or get a momentary to latching converter.

Ok so I will switch the inserts and get a clip and will switch to a latching switch? Anything else I am missing, I have a resistor for the switch led. Will I need extra wiring?

Also, you have a 6 wire buck puck selected. Do you have a potentiometer you plan on using as a dimmer? If not, you could go with a 4 wire version to simplify the design.

I do not have a dimmer option, I am trying to go as simple as I can as I can always re-wire in the future, so go for a 4- wire puck? anything else I would need?

Also is the latching switch I chose too long for the hilt? It seems very long and like the wires would not fit. Also do I need a bezel for the switch or is it a cosmetic upgrade?

The bezel will help give more room for your switch inside the hilt.

Ok so with the jst female batter, the jst male on the led and the wiring needing to be on the switch with a resistor for the switch would you be able to help me figure out a wiring guide? Or should I post that to the wiring section? is this image what I should follow ignoring the other LED before the main LED? http://gyazo.com/419364578ea6bbd584b4479c5f3a50bc

Is the 16mm Latching blue switch compatible with handle #3?
