French Jedi need help for his first saber ;)

Thank you SilverSerpent for all your answers ! The screw for covertec button was already on my wishlist (but didn't written here). BTW, is the covertec button screw is screwed on the hilt (so I'll need a threaded hole in it by Tim) or is it tighten with a nut ?
Rich330 : thanks you, I saw that so I'll have to find here somewhere to find them. I've got an little idea.

You'll need a hole drilled, they just screw in

Hi,

Here's some news of my lightsaber, and a pic of parts I received from TCSS :



And because I do not have the specific pliers, it was too hard to fix insert in TCSS pommel. So I used paper clip to make my own C-clip !

Equipment used :

- big size paper-clips
- 1" polycarbonat tube
- small plier
- cutting pliers



Step 1 :



Step 2 : roll the wire around the 1" tube (don't panic, it's smaller than the hilt but it will expand when you stop rolling it)



Step 3 : my own inovation, a small bend on the clip ; first folding :



And then :



Final Step :



Then you can cut if the clip fits well in the hilt :



A comparison between the f#?*g c-clip and mine :



And once in the pommel, it's ok :

great fix on the insert but I bet you could take it to a car garage and ask a service men to help you.

I've used the paperclip trick myself before. It works just fine, and is far easier to remove.

Nice one indeed, I wouldn't have thought about that trombone trick ^^
Good luck for the rest of the install!
