I've got the basic look to my chassis here: http://forums.thecustomsabershop.com/showthread.php?19736-Crystal-Chassis-Mock-up
I'll be cutting it down and capping it off with a chassis disc so it's flush against the bottom of the blade holder. Now the issue I'm having is how do I mount the chassis to the blade holder? At first I was thinking JB welding the disc to the holder, but then I realized I had brain farted and the threaded rods do not screw into the discs. One of my co-workers suggested I hot glue the rods to the top disc, then the disc to the holder. You think hot glue would hold this on? I'm not planning on hard core battles with this, but I will be carrying it around and maybe some light sparring. Hot glue would also be easy to snap apart in case I need to replace anything or remove the chassis from the holder. I could also use 2 part epoxy but I do not want to permanently weld the chassis to the holder and never be able to get it off without breaking it apart.
Just wanted to see what some veterans have done with this kit and mounting a chassis. Thanks as always.
