Using maul kit in a Luke

[ti-el_terall]

Tim said it would fit, but should I drill hole on either side to hold it in place? Like there would be the thumbscrew to hold the blade in place, but lower should I put screws to hold it in place?

[Ryma Mara]

I would use atleast 2 screws on the back side of where your thumbscrew would go.

On a lower portion and a higher portion. Heard many storys of the hilt snaping where the orange bit and grooves come togeather.

[Strydur]

They fit really snug so I would think you could get away with just the blade screw unless you where thrusting with it.

[Lord Maul]

so will you be making a "official" luke kit, or just telling us to use the maul ones?

[Strydur]

I might just modify some mauls. I dont know yet.

[Lord Maul]

that would probably be good. i haven't seen a luke open for myself, but isn't there like a notch or something that you could make the blade holder wedge into so it doesn't move?

i only get that impression because of how ultra's kit is shaped.

if you do do that, you'll be getting a 4 kit order from me when i get more money :P

[Strydur]

If it was just wedged against the normal plastic housing that would work fine. Although the maul kits wont work this way as they are too long.

[ti-el_terall]

Hey Tim, would it be the same if I wa using an empty hilt?

[Strydur]

If using an empty hilt I would think you could get away with just a thumbscrew but you might want to add an extra also.

How many people want an actual Luke conversion kit?

[Ryma Mara]

I could name a couple people.
