I'm expecting April.
Anyways, I was at first worried if MHS Speaker Mount V6 would fit inside Graflex 2.0.
Then you and others are planning similar builds so now I am sure there is no space issue.
Thanks for that. Looking forward to seeing how your MPP turning out.

Quoted from RoninBJJ on his thread "First build-Graflex 2.0 Saber Kit" starts here "The info I have been able to gather so far is that the ID of the grip 1-5/16" (1.3125")."

It seems you will have a little wiggle space about 0.05" (that's if you round the 1.3125 and subtract that from 1.25) you should be good maybe you could use the plastic tube as well!

No, didn't try that as it is not possible. The housing also includes the threads to attach the bottom portion. It's kind of a janky design in my opinion. There's over 3" of blade socket if I recall correctly.

Holy crap 3"!? i mean i guess that's great but, like you said janky design flaw cause i was freaking out thinking that there wasn't anywhere for me to mount the LED to and either way there is still that slight problem with securing the LED .. since i already ordered it i can't make a reason to get the screw and if i make even a decent size purchase my wife would kill me as this addiction steals my money! :roll:

Are you sure? Doesn't MPP 2.0 has the same bottom half as Graflex 2.0?
I am not entirely sure myself about that. I don't have the parts in front of me.
I've read that Graflex 2.0 has inner diameter of 1.25" which is compatible with MHS right?

Yep, just did a rough measure and it's around 3.75" from just under the emitter spring to the step at the bottom of the housing. Add the threads and you have around 4.25" for module and blade.

Thank you.
I couldn't be sure until I have the parts in front of me but that's a very useful information.
I can always sand down some plastic off the Speaker Mount I guess.
I do hope your build goes smoothly.

Yes the MPP and my other CSS parts have shipped today! With 3 day shipping it will be here really fast so I'll let you all know when I received it! I also as of 8:09 pm EST bought the ESB wires from WannaWanga soo looking forward to that. Only problem i have is the clap but i think i'll just leave that alone for now.

Good to hear your parts are on your way!
Are you planning to record your build on video? I am thinking about doing that myself.
Whether I'm going to share it on YouTube or not, I think I want to record my build on video for the future reference.
I'd love to check out your MPP 2.0 install on YouTube.
