Main question is regarding the switch holder Style 14, which AV switches are needed short or long?
Can Main body style 2 be used instead of extension piece? Wife wants smaller hilt so that's why I went with 6" extension wasn't sure due to AV switch holder above.

Thanks for looking all comments welcome.

Rough idea of basic saber hilt

You can use short or long av switches with the activation box. Short switches would be easier.

You can use a main body style, or you can use the extension. Either way is fine.

You can toss the nylon screws. They're not needed with the new style heat sinks. You'll only need a single MPS retaining clip for your pommel insert as well.

If you're not in the US, you'll have to find a local source for the li-ion batteries. You can still order the PCB from here, but the batteries can't be shipped internationally.

Cheers, taken on board your comments. Just waiting on a cost for custom extension part then its all go.
