I did cut off a little from the holder I got from Tim.The mr maul conversion kit.

[Strydur]

You cut the aluminum holder?

[jjshumpert]

well thats about all i can do for the maul until i get the chance to order the conversion. btw tim the sensitivity is way better than i thought it would be once it all got back in the hilt, im very impressed with the outcome!

[DACOTA]

Yeah I did.I'll have to test agian when I do the other half but Im not sure,you would think that you wouldnt half to considering the holders are the same length and all but all I know is when I slid it all in the switch did not line up about 2/16's from the hole in the hilt.So I dont know.Then once I cut that little bit it all fit on the first try and and I re-assembled it and I love and it works great,clash sensor and all.

[vortextwist]

did it go all the way up into the hilt? You know there are 2 white o-rings in there.

[Ryma Mara]

I thought the kit was designed to keep them orings in there.

[Strydur]

It is..you have to push it through them.

[DACOTA]

Yeah I did push it past that and all the way to the metal of the emitter.
Like I said the switch just barely didnt line up to the hole in the hilt,enough to where you couldnt put the switch back on but after the cut it fit.

This isn't necessarily surprising, as ALL machined metal has variance.

Personally, I'm GLAD when things don't fit "just right" and I have to do a little sanding/grinding, because I really like a tight fit (well not too tight), considering the parts go through "shock abuse", lol.

Especially on blade holders--I'm glad when Tim's blades (or other blades) just baaaaaaaareeellly don't fit into a TCSS emitter... I give the emitter a teeny teeny tiny amount of sanding, and I get that nice tight fit which makes me feel happy about the blade never having a chance to come out... even if the blade screw were to loosen a bit.

Anyhow... isn't that what TCSS is all about--customizing things for YOUR needs. I'd personally hate to see 100 *IDENTICAL* Maul conversions with absolutely no differences of any kind. That would lessen the experience (IMHO).

[DACOTA]

Thats a good way to think about it. Personally it doesnt bother me about what I did its only 2/16's its not gonna really affect how the blade holdes.I'm happy with the convesion and thank you Tim.

Oh and Novastar thats not why it didnt fit,although true the holder didnt fit because the clash sensor made a little more room that wasnt there before when the saber was stock.
