These are MR. Many of the o-rings on these have since died.

Got mine finished and pieced together yesterday (got it that day, too) but I was a bit bummed that the two hilts didn't fit together as well. Was it just me? The hollow for both of my hilts were really off center and I didn't have the means to fix it.
Found a way to fix them together but it was a lot more effort (and a lot more epoxy) than I was anticipating.

Russel you the man!! Thanks!
They can get off center while you tighten the ends, but I just made sure to hold the center together nicely while tightening. I probably would've advised emailing Mr. Starkiller before breaking out any epoxy though.

Don't forget the washer spacer!

Did that but that wasn't the problem. The bore for the rod were completely off center, running the length of the each hilt. At the ends were fine but they both drifted away from the central axis towards the "middle" of where the hilts meet. It's fine now, (my hilts also suffered some where and tear because the bag ripped) but, like I said, I wasn't expecting to put in as much work as I did.
EDIT: I just realized from reading the previous posts, mine also didn't have the little spacers/washers for the emitter caps. If they're as small as some of the photos posted here, mine may have fallen out of the box during transit, or something.
Got the rod, & I'm trying this washer but don't know if I'll use it. I think this one might be a tad thick, but I like the width of it. I want a wide washer, cause I don't want pressure on the lightsaber body once it's tightened up.
Anyhoo, mine is off center as well. Now, mind you nothing is tightened down, so I think (hope) this can be corrected during the finishing.

I still need to get the rod cut & deburred. I will probably hold off on doing much more, & wait for Halliwax to make his video.
