I am planning to buy other wire/electronics here in Australia.
Questions:
- for the LED, does it come with its own kit or do I have to buy the module kit separately? (lens, lens holder, sinktube, thermal tape, etc) coz I couldn't find the sinktube or such
- what screw do i need for the convertec clip.
- when will the c clip for the pommel be in stock?
- does all my parts look good?

and some tips would be nice.

Thank you

The pre-wired LED modules (http://www.thecustomsabershop.com/Cree-Star-LED-MHSV1-Heatsink-Module-P998.aspx) come with everything you need for your LED (lens holder, lens, LED, thermal tape, heatsink, and the aluminum holder thing) already wired with a JST connector. You just pick the color.

Use this srew (http://www.thecustomsabershop.com/8-32-x-14-socket-head-P107.aspx) for your covertec button. And don't forget the button. I didn't see it in your list.

I don't know when the c-clip will be back in stock, but it shouldn't take long. Don't forget to get a pommel insert (you won't need the c-clip without the insert).

Hi,
thanks for the info.
Oh ok, but I was kinda hoping that I don't want the connector at the end for the module, Is it possible to have it in an open wire end?
For the Covertec screw, will it have a hold for it or shall i make a new hole?
same goes for a D-ring?

Thanks

Just cut the connector off :D

Cut one wire at a time, or else you could short out the PCB.

You will need to drill and tap two holes (or order the drill and tap service from the store). One for the covertec button, usually in the hilt. The other for blade retention in the blade holder.

this should look nice. here is a quick render i did. this gave me a reason to add a guarded switch to my lost of 3d rendered parts i have. I dont have the black o rings yet but you can imagine how it will look

Are you talking about a hole in the covertec knob or a hole in the hilt? The knob has a hole to put the screw through, but you'll need to have an 8/32 threaded hole added to the hilt. You can do that yourself or add the 8/32 hole service to your order.

If you're cutting the connecter off a pre-wired battery.
