I have a Screw on LED blade holder style 1 and a LED "Corbin style" Battle blade 1" OD with a 10-32 x 13/32" Thumb Screw can you please tell me where to drill and tap the hole for the thumbscrew please.

My suggestion would be somewhere on the blade holder that would cause the smaller end of the screw to apply pressure on the tube inside the holder. :roll:

In the center of the blade holder.

Where the bladeholder slims down, at the thicker part just under the edge.

If you drill and tap in the thinner section of the bladeholder its not gonna have enought metal to bite on.

I suggest a 10/32 screw

The point is the blade doesn't go through into the thicker part of the holder
