maul conversion

**Bescherman** · 09-12-2007, 09:08 AM

Ok. I've been searching around the forums for an answer to this and have read lots of other interesting "Maul" miscellany but not what I'm looking for.

Does ANYONE have a supplier for PolyC tubing that is the same outside diameter, and preferably inside too but beggars can't be choosers, as the MR maul blades?

I was going to go and ask Erv as I understand that the Maul blades are a metric not imperial measurement. I'm in the UK so might have more success than those in the US in procuring the tubing I need.

MR used it. It MUST be available SOMEWHERE!!!

Thankyouplease

Well to start... what is the exact size?

I wouldn't bother though. One of the draws of a conversion kit is the ability to use the 1" blades.

Ok, I don't know what the exact size is. I haven't yet pulled a Maul apart. I've got an ULTRA converted Maul coming soon so if I pick myset up some accurate callipers then I'll be able to tell you.

I have seen the dimensions quoted SOMEWHERE here before but I'm buggered if I know where! I was hoping one of you knowledgeable types would have it on the tip of your tongue!

I ask because I'm not using the conversion kit. I would like to be able to interchange the blades in my Ultra Conversion with a shorter set, probably with corbin's film in for variation.

Does that explain it a little better? Sorry I can't give the measurements just yet. I've just no way of finding out at the moment short of finding someone else who has posted it.

Edit: I must say that I AM tempted to convert my existing Maul hilt once I inevitably bugger it up from missing a catch, smacking it on the floor etc.
It would be nice to have a lux Maul in red too (the Ultra one will be green)

the stuff i buy here in canada is the same as the maul, I have to sand it down to fit in tims mhs parts but it fits the stock maul perfectly. i think it has to do with metric measurements?

Ultra just uses Tim's conversion kits, so your saber will have a 1 inch blade in it.

No... Ultra sells the kit as a DIY option but the ones he makes (unless requested) don't use the TCSS holder.

Only on the six-celled sabers (Mace ROTS and Luke ROTJ) he uses a metal holder. The rest of the time it's stock unless requested. Thus there are no replacement blades available...

You could always bulk up a 1" to fit with tape or something, but that's not ideal. Not using a metal holder isn't either, so whatever floats your boat.

Hey I am hopefully going to order the stuff I need to do my maul Conversion can some one give me a list of exact items? Could i use a LED Basic electric package for all the electronics?
