All original parts Obi ANH saber - adding cotter pins

[Sym-Cha]

Re: Obi ANH saber. Where to place the cotter pins and 'figure 8' holes?

This was used toput the emitter on grenade section?
I didn't know about that,it's interesting.

It was suggested by Howard and that's why Russreps made two types of booster cones : A the straight and B the tapered just like the real booster-bearing screw part:

However you'd need 2 real vintage and complete booster gears to pull this of that is if you'd also like the booster-bearing inside the clamp, alas I only have one :cry and Kurtyboy apparantly had 2 but he did receive the vintage UK cotter-pins from me

so it means holes will be visible on the back of emitter?
and..how to fix it on brass section of grenade?
or,it's just cut?

what are sources mentionning this part was used?
it could work,because bolt diameter is close to emitter diameter...

God, I love threads like these. Information little known shared amongst other enthusiasts to create something people know very little about.

Absolutely love it.

It needs to be cut.

The emitter is fixed to the greneade with glue on the original. You can see the glue sticking out under the emitter. The bottom of the emitter is also crimped but I didn't want to damage my balance pipe.

I didn't understand all,I'm french!

But if this item was used,it's ok for me,

It will hide correctly the jack for my led chain blade monting!

I had in idea to make a ROTS type emitter,not sure for the moment,will see when it will be time to do it(can machine both,same price...free)
maybe a emitter including a luxeon inside,but without optic,to save room!

Are there any original pic showing the glue or the cone section?

The emitter has been hammered on the inner part to secure it to the upper neck of the windvane section ... you can see the 'damage' in the picture in post #27.

That's exactly what I meant by 'crimped'.
From WIKI: Crimping is joining two pieces of metal other malleable material by deforming one or both of them to hold the other. The bend or deformity is called the crimp.

^ I know that, however I was merely 'translating' what you said for Patrice since he mentioned that he did not follow all of your explanation since he is french indeed and a very nice fellow and a fine lightsaber builder too, I might add

What a piece of junk! :lol


Actually several pieces. Of rediculously hard to find and expensive pieces of junk! :angel

She's a beaut!

Wish I could be of help but all I know about this saber is stuff I learned from you and a few others Markus!

What's sad is after I sell a few of my random extra helmets and kits and get my eFX Vader and hero TK... THIS will be my next must have. And I'm sure I will use all of your threads and hard work as a cheat sheet!
