Thought I would show how it turned out. I bought a MR Maul conversion kit and some acrylic crystals and using the MR Darth Maul instructions in the MR to luxeon 3w conversions section I removed all the guts and blade. Luckily the aluminum tube from the conversion kit has a sort of lip inside about 1/3rd of the way in on the threaded end so I put the red crystal in the threaded end which just fit and screwed in the copper end piece until it was snug and put the tube in the hilt, it was a little tight but went in and fit perfectly. Being in there tight meant I didn't have to use any of the guts to keep it in place and I was able to sell the guts and blade. I am very happy with how it turned out although I found out air brushes are pretty expensive so I wasn't able to create any scorching on the end and don't want to make a mess trying spray paint.
I also went to rebelscum.com and found a MR Obi-Wan ANH lightsaber case in new condition which holds the Darth Maul hilt very well.
Below are a few pix. The pix aren't great, the saber and case are in perfect condition. Thank you to everyone who helped, I appreciate it.
