Thanks again everyone for the kind words. I have finished her up...and will try to post pics this afternoon. I am very pleased with the way she turned out....BUT....I don't think I am willing to go to this much trouble / stress over a saber again...lol.
B5813: The strips are aluminum. I happened to find a seller on ebay selling a set of MJ grips (very odd and specific thing to sell, but it worked out because I needed them). I used those grips and an aluminum spacer kit sold here (the one used with the rubber grip set).
Activator box assembly is held in place via JB Weld, as are the spacers in the grips. Emitter is the luke emitter from TCSS, but I had to cut pvc to fit in the gap so the rubber strips would have a continuous surface to adhere to.
There is a separate blade retention screw, as the Graflex red button screw is not long enough to pass through the thick section of the emitter and hold a blade.
My next project is building a couple of dueling sabers for me and my son
Gonna do some Lux V's and no sound.....bare bones....built for functionality not style.
