    Ripped mine apart to fix the break in the led string and it is basically an aluminium sleeve with two pins and a couple of hex grub screws to hold stuff in place and to stop the outer trim from moving around. I could see the 1.25" blade holder working but maybe with a shorter heatsink.

    I checked the tutorial and there are some significant differences. The trim on the emitter is part of the ally sleeve the gold half moon trim above the switch has a pin underneath and the rubber grip doesn't peel away it is more a molded piece similar to dooku.

    Among other things....

    any more ideas about this? i've been poking around my 07 hasbro mace saber, and am stumped. apparently there's better glue over the rubber part, and it does not come off as easy as depicted in the 05 conversion tutorial.

    Just so you know, if you are having problems with glue...

    WD-40 was was to breakdown Ducttape adhesive, and other glues. you want want to try spraying some of it under the grip sections and see if that does any good...

    I've managed to get the Hasbro version of the mace saber open.

    It's definately very different inside and comes apart very differently too - I took pictures so I'll post them later when I have time.

    I just need to know the exact dimensions of the MR mace conversion blade holder part to see if it fits or not.

    The internal diameter of the Hasbro version is 1 and 3/16ths of an inch but the internal diameter of the screw-on blade emitter part - the gold bit is an inch exactly though seems to be too tight to fit my 1 inch diameter blades through it hmmm....
