Thread: Drilling a hole for the recharge port

  1. #1

    Default Drilling a hole for the recharge port

    Greetings

    I've looked and looked on these forums, as well as youtube - and I can't find anything about what size hole you need to drill to install the recharge port on the hilt. This is my first saber build, and I'll be following the Madcow Custom Saber With Sound STYLE 2 scheme, but I want to install the recharge port on the hilt rather than in the chassis and covered. I saw Madcow's video for wiring the recharge port, but nothing on installation. Any help would be appreciated, though I am not starting for a few days as I wait on more parts.

    Thanks in advanced!
    -Tim

    Hello there, my 2.1mm recharge ports require an 8mm bit, although they didn't come from TCSS so they may be different

    I've been wanting to get a tap set for charge ports, but I have not found any. Can anyone recommend a place to get them?

    They're definitely there. I bought mine there and I have the page up right now.

    Its a 5/16-32 and you'll need a 9/32 drill bit.

    And yes, they have a bunch of goodies.
