Just get the blade kit, the hilt kit and heiland shroud. You will have everything then. Otherwise you'd be missing the inverter and tube (with the endcap). The button and screw would be unneeded then.

yes, you need the inverter for EL. The EL wire only works with ac current, coming straight from a battery will not work, the inverter turns dc-ac, so the inverter is necessary.

You may also want the set screws (2) and I have found that there is a little varince in the sink pipes you get in the stores. I had a sweet little 1 1/2" Hilt that I ordered an emitter for and danged if it didn't fit but Tim's pipes are a perfect match.

EDIT: You may also want to get one of Tim's Endcaps since they are designed to be tap and screwed in and they are REALLY NICE!

You're right, sorry. I just bought a handle kit when I did mine, so i didn't look at the individual parts.

The 1.25" hilts all use a 3/4" blade and are designed for EL.

Please read the FAQ, EL/LED description and index. I put in no uncertain terms there that EL is 3/4" blades. You never know too, it might save you from posting another question later.[:)]
