Hello,
I am at the point now of finding the correct and most screen accurate D-ring for the Luke ANH lightsaber. However, I am not sure which D-ring to go with. Which one is the most accurate the Blasttech D-ring or Tandyleather's D-ring?? Just wanted some opinions on these two d-rings. Thanks!
 
Hi Sym cha gave you th correct shape for the D ring.
Seems the hardest part to find is not the ring itself,but the 1"3/4x2/4" steel element with the hole for the bolt.
 
This Tandy is not good:

This Blastech is not good:

Looks same to the other from Tandy,hole is not good,and the round has a too small radius

This blastech may be ok:

But you will have to modify steel shhet with two holes,and leave only one hole.

The good shape:

I understand but we have to keep in mind that Sym cha's and other people that custom made their D-rings made the bottom of the D-ring clip to fit perfectly along the circumference or rounded part of the bottom of the Graflex. I am sure that most likely the D-ring on the actual original movie prop did not fit like a glove and was not exactly perfectly shaped like Sym-cha's and others are. Just food for thought. Thanks!
