[QUOTE="Serenity, post: 3604776, member: 3957"] Does your saber have one of the solid aluminum spacers inside the clamp? If so, here's an idea of what I did: [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/pFXpf7Y.jpg[/IMG] One side has a T-nut fitted for the larger threaded rod for the grenade and emitter half: [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/VpuBbqE.jpg[/IMG] The other side has a smaller diameter t-nut that will fit a bolt that slides through the opening on the handwheel and screws in: [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/d6Y5zMx.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/TclOfW4.jpg[/IMG] You'll have to cut down the longer threaded rod, and make sure the bolt isn't too long, so they don't meet inside the center of the spacer. I also shaved down the bolt head so it would fully clear the bottom of the cap (and allow for a rubber washer to go in there.) I wanted to be able to disassemble the saber down to each component if needed, so this design worked out well for me. [/QUOTE]
