I think halliwax is probably gonna upload a video on how he's gonna do it but here's what I did.
I drilled a 5mm hole (could be 4.75mm) pinched the arms together and was going to spread them from the inside. I ran into a problem with trying to spread them cause of the weird angle and how strong these things are. So I stopped before damaging anything and pinched planters wire (steel) around it.
I also made a wire retainer for mine, if you go back several posts. (Top of page 13)I think halliwax is probably gonna upload a video on how he's gonna do it but here's what I did.

Hi Dann, are these metal prints?Zinc plated, yeah.
Did two other versions, with varying wear on the pyramids. One just plain sharp.

I'm almost wondering if it was some sort of one off lever? Or even something pinned into a graflex clamp rod. I just find it interesting that it threads perfectly into a clamp bar nut. Then again...The Parts they used for the ANH Obi wan saber strangely work well together as well...the search continues!Ha and i bet you guys may have an inkling as to what it may be. I'm all over the shot with it. Grenade spoons, pen lids. Crazy.
YEEEARGH!!!!!!
Yes, that scream you just heard, echoing in the distance, was the sound of me screaming as my newly arrived boot chunk (from the UK) was being squeezed in my vice to straighten the spread of the two backside tongues and shot across the room of my shop.
Worse yet, I had headphones on so I could not hear where it landed.
That lasted less than 24 hours...
Lol glad you found it!
Well that's about the best I can do with my AS saber. Will probably just use some plumbers putty or E6000 to glue it in, though its already pretty snug. Darkened with PermaBlue.

No; unfortunately, I didn’t find it.
It’s now disappeared into that dark hole in my shop were all screws and small detail pieces go, never to be seen again
