Hello alpine

That´s a topic that has been discussed several times in threads like this one... I´d say that an average hilt is somewhere between 10 to 12 inches.

oh ok well then i guess my hilt is fine on size, thanks for the input ill post pics of it in the gallery when its done.

Average seems to be about 12" to 13" but I do see many that appear to be about 9" to 10".

Its all about your book of preferance and what you plan on stuffing into the hilt.

Like my hilt It had to be the length that it is so I could fit everything.

It all comes down to personal choice.
Mine is around 12.5", but my bro uses a 10", we're about the same height & everything, but like I said PERSONAL CHOICE.

ok heres another question. by the way i have not seen any mention of this anywhere else.

ok i have an old Mag-lite that i have gutted for a potential hilt will mhs parts easily connect to it or is it a lost cause?

im trying to keep all of my question in this thread so heres another one for you guys how do i wire on a PLI(Power Level Indicator) into my saber?? if some one could show me a diagram of this that would be great.

You have to measure the maglite chassis. You need to know inner and outer diameter (ID and OD for short). Maybe this piece could be useful, given the size would fit in your maglite. Measure and try

Already discussed in this thread. Try to search a little bit more

**vortextwist** · 10-31-2007, 03:06 PM

the search feature doesn't work the greatest. check the wiring and cutaway schematics thread.

im still trying to decide if this will work with out the sink tube adapter, a mag-lite body for my hilt here are some pics and its dimentions

length: 8.5"
diameter:1.5"
threads at the top on the outside and on the bottom on the inside
the button hole is 3/4" diameter

side view

bottom threads

top threads

button hole

hopefully this will help you guys in telling me if this is usable or if i should just get a MHS double threaded hilt.

thanks
