The Lens and Holder you purchased won't work with the Tri-Cree. You'll either need an 18-degree Tri-LED lens or replace the LED for a single Cree.
If you want to use the existing LED, you can wire it straight to the board as seen in the MR conversion tutorials on this forum. You can wire up rB by itself for a deep blue or G and rB in parallel for an ANH aqua. You won't need any resistors. The board can't push two LEDs at maximum, but they'll still run just fine as a bright, custom-colored blade. I've wired up RGB LEDs and switches to an MR board in the past.
As for *how* the board is wired... I'm not really sure what you've done there. The white connectors should be plugged together with one lead going to the clash sensor, one shared between the other end of the clash and power+, and the other six power-. Or you could desolder the plugs and wire straight to the labeled board contacts in that area. That should leave separate connections on the other end of the board for switch+ and switch-, shared battery+/speaker+, battery-, and speaker-.
Don't think the MHS speaker mount or electric shielding will fit, either. Graflex 2.0 has a rear ID bigger than MHS but a few mm smaller than an authentic Graflex, so Graflex chassis discs also won't fit without modification. Would have to look outside this store for a solution to that.
