If you havent seen it before heres a pic.

Now I want to get a new pommel and ribbed section, That way I can put my speaker in the bottem of the hilt and have the recharge port there also, A new pommel will make this possable, I was thinking of MPS pommel style 5 as my current pommel is a non mps style 5 thats been machined to be a MPS of sorts, But one give me the room I need for bothe a recharge port and a speaker.
Now I wnt to get a new ribbed section cause I basicly had to make a big plate activation to hide the botched work I did for sound holes and such.
Now i need to stick with a DPDT switch and want to keep the accent led, But iam not sure on what to do for the activation plate. I amnot that great with a dremel and will prolly have tim machine the ribbed section so I can house the switch and led easly but still have the plate cover the work and have a mounting point for the switch and led.
Now I have to graft a band for the crown emitter to hide some screw holes that wernt lined up very well and will have that fixed.
But the big thing is I am not sure what do do about the hilt section itself, Should I leave it like it is? forget the plate on the ribbed section and use a control box instead that way the forward grip section is clean?
If I go that route I will prolly alter an MR rotj luke control box to hold my dpdt switch. Then I may be abel to put my battery pack in the ribbed section and then get a shorter than 7" hilt section for the rest and have some room to play with if need be.
But I dont want parts to go to waste, except the ribbed section. that thing would only be good as a paper weight after upgrading would be done.
Maybe I could have tim shorten my 7" section to say 5.5" and re do the threads on one end.
But thats only if My 2600mah AA battery pack will fit in the ribbed section.
Arg this is racking my brain and annoys me to no end. What are some of you folks thoughts on how I shoudl accomplish the upgrade looks?
Eather way some screw holes have to be hidden and re done and a nw ribbed and pommel parts will ahve to be ordered.
