Hi everyone, this is my first post so I'm sorry if this is a well asked question. I have a master replica Luke lightsaber and the retaining pin (blue arrow) no longer stays threaded to the saber. I was able to remove the plate (red arrow) from its mount in the saber (green circle) and have determined that for some dumb reason the thread inside the plate has just worn out. I didn't remove the blade that much over the time I've owned it but whatever. Is there any resource for parts I could use? Chance to upgrade this to a better looking pin, perhaps with a red button to better match the movie one? Any advise would be welcome.

That looks like the anakin with removable blade. You could buy the conversion kit, or attempt to make another plate yourself and re-tap the threads.

You could also attempt to re-tap the thread to a larger size and get another retention pin.

good luck

A conversion kit sounds cool, a chance to customize it. Where can I buy a kit?

This one?

I'm not sure mine disassembles like that or how that would work with my blade.

EDIT: I'm sorry, I'm a idiot. I did some searching and found this.

Now I'm heading in the right direction!
