Hello all!

I just finished my first saber rebuild, which was a Mace Windu MR saber that I went full custom on with a Nano Biscotte v3, tri-Cree LED, FOC, the works. The one thing that I ran into while doing this build was the switch replacement. This was not that big of a deal since TCSS offers a gold-plated momentary switch, so I just drilled out a hole where the old switch was.

Now I'm wanting to do the same kind of project with my Vader saber, except I'm more nervous about the placement of the switch. I can't keep the bubble card activation switch as an option since it is a latching switch (right?). So, my first thought is to put the switch here:

However, doing so will definitely interfere with the TCSS blade holder. If I drill out a hole for something like this:

...will that compromise the integrity of the blade holder? Has anybody else done anything similar that can lend some advice?
Thanks for reading!
